Eph. 1: 5
According to the Good Pleasure of His will…
I just love this part of the verse. He chose me and you (if you have repented of your sins – and Believe on the Name of Jesus Christ- and you show evidence of His presence in you life) as His children before we were ever created – to one day – become the heirs of Salvation – the reflection of His Glory – as His children – for all of Eternity.
How can a person really think on this – and not shout out praise to our Heavenly Father? I know if makes me want to jump up and shout!
Also – why me? I could have been left behind having NOT been chosen. I could have been left in my sin – to fully experience it – and then DIE and go to hell. BUT- He CHOSE me! I am His and He is mine and I will forever be His.
All – because of the Good pleasure of His will…
WOW – what a great way to start any day.
