Scripture Proofs: God Chooses His People ~ His People Don't Choose Him

The consensus is this:
”Nowhere in the Bible does it say we were chosen for salvation?...”

That's an erroneous statement.

It's all throughout Scripture. The human ego just doesnt like this truth.

Here's a few examples FROM SCRIPTURE:

"You did not choose Me, but I CHOSE YOU & APPOINTED YOU that you should go & bear fruit & that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in My Name, He may give it to you."
-John 15:16

"GOD CHOSE WHAT IS LOW & despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, SO THAT NO HUMAN being MIGHT BOAST in the presence of God." -1 Corinthians 1:28‭-‬29

"Put on then, as GOD’S CHOSEN ONES, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience..."
-Colossians 3:12

"NO ONE CAN COME TO Me UNLESS THE Father WHO SENT Me DRAWS HIM. And I will raise him up on the last day."
-John 6:44

"If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, BUT I CHOSE YOU out of the world, therefore the world hates you."
-John 15:19

"For many are called, but FEW ARE CHOSEN."
-Matthew 22:14

"The Lord said (speaking of Paul), “Go, for HE IS A CHOSEN INSTRUMENT OF Mine to carry My Name before the Gentiles & kings & the children of Israel. For I will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name.”
-Acts 9:15‭-‬16

"But we ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers beloved by the Lord, because God CHOSE YOU as the firstfruits TO BE SAVED, THROUGH SANCTIFICATION BY THE Spirit & belief in the Truth."
-2 Thessalonians 2:13

"...though THEY WERE NOT YET BORN & HAD DONE NOTHING either GOOD OR BAD—in order that God’s PURPOSE OF ELECTION might continue, NOT BECAUSE OF WORK BUT BECAUSE OF Him WHO CALLS.... For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” So then IT DEPENDS NOT ON HUMAN WILL or exertion, BUT ON God, who has Mercy."
-Romans 9:11‭, ‬15‭-‬16

"Blessed be the God & Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as HE CHOSE US in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love HE PREDESTINED US for adoption to Himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of His Will... In Him we have obtained an inheritance, having been PREDESTINED according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His Will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of His glory."
-Ephesians 1:3‭-‬5‭, ‬11‭-‬12
