The Middle Voice is when the actor, the one doing the action, is doing it for some sort of benefit to him or herself. Why is that so important? Ephesians 1:4a says this:
"For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight." - Ephesians 1:4a
That action word there is "chose" and that word is in the middle voice. What does that mean? It means He chose you because it benefits Him. He chose you because in the act of choosing you, He is the one that reaps the rewards. You are Jesus's prize. He chose you! Not because you walked an aisle and prayed a prayer because He chose you before all that. Why? Because He loves you so much! Because you delight Him and I want you to know something. He has no choosers remorse with you. He knew every mistake you would make before you make it and before you even made it. He still shows you and it fills His heart with joy.
