"And these are ancient things." 1Chronicles 4:22

The sovereign choice of the Father, by which He elected us unto eternal life, or ever the earth was since no date can be conceived for it by the mind of man. We were chosen from before the foundations of the world. Everlasting love went with the choice, for it was not a bare act of divine will by which we were set apart, but the divine affections were concerned. The Father loved us in and from the beginning. Here is a theme for daily thought. The eternal purpose to redeem us from our foreseen ruin and decay, to cleanse and sanctify us, and at last to glorify us, was of infinite time past, and runs side by side with immutable (unchangeable) love and absolute sovereignty (God's Choice alone). The covenant is always described as being everlasting, and Jesus the second party in it, had His goings forth of old; He struck hands in sacred surety long before the first of the stars began to shine, and it was in Him that the elect were ordained unto eternal life. Thus in the divine purpose a most blessed covenant union was established between the Son of God and His elect people, which will remain as the foundation of their safety when time shall be no more.
Morning and Evening I will Bless His Name and Bring Him Glory.
