According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world… – Ephesians 1:4
We have to bless God that all His gifts come to us in Christ. Notice Paul’s words, “according as He hath chosen us in Him.” God called us in Christ. He justified us in Christ. He sanctified us in Christ. He will perfect us in Christ. He will glorify us in Christ. We have everything in Christ, and we have nothing apart from Christ. Let us praise and bless the name of the Lord that this sacred channel of His grace is as glorious as the grace itself. There is as much grace in the gift of Christ to save us as there is in the salvation which Christ has wrought out for us. “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
“Before the foundation of the world”, says the text, there was a purpose in the heart of God, and in that purpose, we were chosen, and by that same purpose God continues to bless us. Look, beloved, God never gives His people either a gift or a grace without His purpose. Has God given you a tongue fluent, eloquent? Speak for Him. He does not give you these gifts without purpose. Has God given you influence among your fellow-men? Use it for Him. Your election came according to His purpose; and so have all your gifts, and much more, all your graces. Have you a strong, bright-eyes faith? Have you burning zeal? Have you vehement love? Have you any of these gifts of the covenant? Use them for a purpose. God has given them for a purpose; find out what that purpose is and glorify God thereby. ~ C.H. Spurgeon
