a. And Saul the son of Kish was chosen: Saul was already anointed king over Israel. But God did this to show the whole nation that Saul was the right man. It showed that God chose Saul and not any man.
b. Was chosen: It is important to say that Saul did not become king because of the choosing by lot. Instead, he was chosen king because of God’s word to the prophet Samuel. The choosing by lot simply confirmed the word of the LORD through Samuel.
(Guzik)
Christian you were chosen to!
”just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,“
Ephesians 1:4-5 NKJV
“Predestination is the biblical doctrine that God in His sovereignty chooses certain individuals to be saved.”
Kind of hard to wrap your head around it, isn’t it? This article explains it in detail.
