Ephesians 1:4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.
以弗所书 1:4 就如神从创立世界以前，在基督里拣选了我们，使我们在祂面前成为圣洁，无有瑕疵。
My dear friends, right before you choose God, He has chosen you. He has chosen you right before you have any chance to make a mistake, and even when you were still a sinner, Christ died for you! Therefore, He loves you and chose you not because of your perfect performance but out of His unfailing love! Therefore, if you feel condemn today, be reminded that even before the creation of this world, God already has you in His heart, He called you as a darling, He sees you as precious, and you are His beloved! Nothing that you can do to make Him love you less! Therefore, know that because of Jesus perfect finished work, God sees you as holy and blameless in His sight! You can't be more perfect and holy than you are now, because it's all done by Jesus perfect performance and not yours! You are a wonder, unique and special, you are righteous, holy and blameless! Never depreciate yourself because God appreciates you!
亲爱的朋友，在你还没有选择上帝之前，祂已经选择了你。祂在你有机会犯错之前已经选择了你，甚至在你还是一个罪人时，基督已经为你死！祂爱你，拣选你不是因为你有好的表现，而是出于祂对你永远的爱！所以，如果今天你觉得被定罪，要立即提醒自己，在创立世界以先，上帝已经把你放在祂心中，祂称你为亲爱的，祂看你为宝贵的，你是祂所爱的！祂不会因着你的所作所为，而使到祂少爱你一点！所以，知道因着耶稣一次完全的献祭，在上帝眼里你是全然美丽，毫无瑕疵的！现在的是你完全和圣洁的，这一切都不是靠你自己而得的，而是因着耶稣一次的献祭！你的生命是一个奇迹，独一无二和分别为圣的，你是公义，圣洁和毫无瑕疵！永远不要轻看自己，因为上帝祂爱惜你！
