"Blessed be the God and 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 as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of His will, to the praise of His glorious grace, with which He has blessed us in the Beloved." (Eph 1:3-6).
How beautiful that God, in His perfect and pleasing will would choose me! For there is no good thing in me deserving of salvation, but God chose me, not because possessed any worthy quality or because of any good merit that I had done, but because of His grace alone!
This is the very definition of grace. And, in truth, there is nothing, not one single thing, that is more beautiful, more holy, or more precious. More than anything, this should compel us to simply pause and worship. Let us then take a moment today to consider what our Lord has done and that He has chosen us in His Son Christ Jesus before the foundations of the world to be saved by the blood fo the Lamb.
