…having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved…In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will… – Ephesians 1:5,6,11

The chosen ones are adopted; they become the children of God. The universal Fatherhood of God, except in a very special sense, is a doctrine totally unknown to Scripture. God is the Father of those whom He adopts into His family, who are born again into His family, and no man hath any right to believe God to be his Father except through the new birth, and through adoption. And why God thus elects or adopts is declared here: “According to the good pleasure of His will.” He does as He pleases. That old word of God is still true: “I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.” Men do not like that doctrine; it galls them terribly; but it is the truth of God for all that. He is Master and King, and He will sit on the throne, and none shall drag Him thence…I read here of predestination, and I read here that God hath His own way, and His own will, and that He reigns and rules, and so He will until the world’s end; and all who are loyal subjects wish God to rule. He is a traitor who would not have God to be King; for who is infinitely good and kind as God is? Let Him have His divine will. Who wishes to restrain Him? Whether we wish it or not, however, the Lord reigneth; let the earth rejoice, and let His adversaries tremble. Our predestination is “according to the purpose of Him who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will.”

There is another precious doctrine, the acceptance of those who are adopted. We are beloved of God; He has a complacency toward us; He takes a delight in us; we are acceptable in His sight. Oh, what a blessing this is! But remember that it is all in Christ: “Accepted in the Beloved.” Because Christ is accepted, therefore those who are in Him are accepted. ~ C.H. Spurgeon
