“Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.” | Ephesians 1: 1

We preach election because there is not a single blessing that comes to us from the hand of our Redeemer that is not stamped with the hand of God’s electing love.

In Ephesians 1: 3-4 the Scriptures say, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:”

Again, “He hath chosen us that we should be holy”

Again, in Acts 22: 14 the Scriptures say, “And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.”

It is not in ourselves that these blessings are contained.

We have them because of our union with Christ, and we are united with Christ because of the Father’s divine and sovereign choice.
