Ephesians 2:7 That in the ages to come he might
shew the exceeding riches of his
grace in
his kindness toward us through
Christ Jesus.
What a
subject is the kindness of God towards us! Let us
think of it, as it appears in the place and circumstances of our birth; and
happy Britain, not in heathen the land. In our
education and preservation. Especially
in our regeneration, that we were born again, not of the will of the flesh, nor
of blood, but of God. How
many, born in the same place, about the same time, and educated in the same
school, have been allowed to pass out of time into eternity, carnal, and under
the curse of God; or are living in that state! Why were
we distinguished? Call by
grace! Justified
from all things in the righteousness of Jesus! Kept by
the power of God! Supplied
according to the promise! Walking
with God! Looking
for the coming of Jesus with hope, holy longings, and steady faith! Having
the promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come! Warranted
to say, “All things are mine, for I am Christ’s, and Christ is God’s!” Oh, how
great is the goodness of our God! How
unsearchable His grace, His kindness to us is wonderful! Who can have greater cause to sing,Who greater cause to bless,Than we, the children of a King,Than we who are Christ possess?Our all we to His kindness owe,And grateful praise should ever
flow. James
Smith
