The apostle Paul in Ephesians 1 v 4 / v 11, tells us how God has chosen us unto salvation ,and writes that we should be holy and blameless, and in 4 v 1,that we should walk worthy of that calling. With privilege comes responsibility ,our lives must reflect are calling ,commenting on this C , Swindoll says ,''Our response to election should be like Queen Victoria's reaction when she realized she would one day be queen; When she was young , Victoria was shielded from the fact that she would be the next ruling monarch of England lest this knowledge spoil her. When her teacher finally did let her discover for herself that she would be Queen of England, Victoria's response was, ''Then I will be good''. C S , continues, 'The fact that God has chosen us for salvation in Christ should not cause us to boast; it should drive us to humility. It should not make us live loose lives; it should motivate us to ''be good'' that is, to conduct ourselves in holiness and blamelessness before Him'. As a parent ,what did we often say to our children , ''be good'', so our loving heavenly Father says to his children ,'' be good''.
