We did not choose Him but He chose us, not based on deeds we had done. He saved us by the washing and regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit. He has made us to become His servants now by His choice.
Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time? It will be good for that servant whom the master finds doing so when he returns. I tell you the truth, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
But suppose the servant says to himself, "My master is taking a long time in coming", and he then begins to beat the menservants and maidservants and to eat and drink and get drunk. The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not award of. He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.
That servant who knows his master's will and does not get ready or does not do what his master wants will be beaten with many blows. But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked. Luke 12:42-48
He knows our deeds and He has told us whom we should fear. To him who overcomes, He will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God, Rev.2:7b. Everyone who hears the words of the Master and puts them into practice, is like the is like the wise man who built his house on the rock, Mt.7:24 That is the house that will not fall.
It's a life saver to be in the Word of God without doctrinal prejudice - to just be a disciple and drink from the water He gives us - perfecting holiness in the fear of God. 2Cor.7:1 I haven't broken the tape yet. Run in such a way as to get the prize (1Cor.9:24b) for not everyone who says to Him "Lord, Lord" on that day will enter the Kingdom of Heaven (Mt.7:21w/1Cor.12:3). A disciple lets Him be the Judge.

Reminds me of something I read on the internet about how to know you're in a bad church. One of the answers was: Worship services are B.Y.O.S. -- "Bring Your Own Snake."
