To the Praise of His Glorious Grace
by Keith Brenton
The heart which recognizes the burden of sin and the relief that grace provides cannot help but be inspired to worship the One who provides that grace:
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will—to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves." ~ Ephesians 1:3-6
Does it inspire praise within you to realize that you have been chosen, loved, predestined, adopted as a child of God? That all of this is in accordance with His pleasure and will?
