The only reason in the final analysis why you're a Christian is that the Father wants to honor the son. Are we really amazed by the measure of God's grace that he has poured out on us?

Can we say with John, Beloved, what manner of love is this that we should be called the children

of God?

I cannot give a single reason under heaven why God would save me. Other than as the Prophet Isaiah gave in his word in chapter 53 that the

suffering servant of Israel would see the travail of his soul and be satisfied

that God has determined to honor his son by giving to his son, adopted brothers and sisters in his family. The only reason in the final analysis

why you're a Christian is that the father wants to honor the son.

And from all eternity he determined that the son's work would not be in vain and that he would be the

firstborn of many brethren and so he determined not just to make salvation possible. he

brother and so he determined not just to make salvation possible and then step back and you know cross his fingers hoping that somebody would take advantage of the ministry of Jesus

but God the Father from all eternity determined to make

salvation certain for those whom he has determined to give to his son. So our

Lord said all that the Father has given me come to me.
