"You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, and whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. "John 15:16

In my case, I know that I did not choose to be saved although if anyone needed saving it was me! I was a drug-addicted train wreck, but Jesus came to me and set me free and saved my sinful soul. This is a danger for those who walk an isle or pray the sinner's prayer without conviction or the fact that Jesus did not choose them!
In my journey with Jesus I have seen hundreds walk the isle, pray the prayer and then walk away thinking that mouthing a few words they were saved, and they bear no fruit! You have seen them too, empty vessels without the fruit of the Spirit or the anointing of a person who has been transformed into a New Creation!
Nicodemus was a prime example of being very religious, a leader of God's people, well versed in scripture, but lost as a goose in a snowstorm! Jesus told him he had to be born again to enter eternal life. That which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. I Peter 2:9
