Notes
You need the right context in order to fulfill the purpose. God in His mercy chose you, Made you part of His royalty, Made you a representative of Himself Separated you to Himself Owns as well as took responsibility of every bit of yourself. Claim these tremendous promises of who you are in Christ and then proclaim the praises of Him in all you think, speak, and do. See what mercy you obtained my soul! Trust Him!
