The Chosen.

The Called, the Chosen and the Faithful - The Making of a Disciple. 
2. The Chosen.

In first Peter 1: 1 to 2, Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, started his letter to the church thus: 

"To God’s elect, exiles scattered throughout the provinces .... who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to be obedient to Jesus Christ."

The Chosen, who are also referred to as "the Elect" are those who have been elected by God, not by works but by grace, by him who calls those things that are not as though they were, that His sovereign purpose in election might stand, to cultivate a relationship of complete confidence in Him as God Almighty, the maker and provider of all, and therefore live an abundant life on this earth and inherit an everlasting kingdom hereafter.

You know you have graduated to the rank of the Chosen of God, by your acceptance of Christ as Lord and Saviour and by your simple belief that the promises God made to his children accrue to you too as an equal heir, and therefore ascribing it to yourself by faith.

You most certainly won't get a verbal confirmation of you being chosen by God, like Jesus did in Matthew 17: 5, but you will surely have a witness in your Spirit of it.

In Genesis 15: 1 and 4 to 6, 
God told Abraham these things in a vision: 
1. “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward.
2. ” ..., but a son who is your own flesh and blood will be your heir,” and 
3. That Abrams offspring will be as numerous as the stars in the sky.

Abram believed all the Lord said, and God credited it to him as righteousness. 
God still credits righteousness to those who are "Chosen."

An example of God's pronouncement concerning his people, that we can believe and act on by confessing it into our lives until we start to live it out, is 1 Peter 2: 9, which when paraphrased goes thus:

"But (I am) a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that (I) may declare the praises of him who called (me) out of darkness into his wonderful light."
