Behold the overflowing riches of the grace and love of Jesus. Every page of the Gospel story teaches the love of His heart to His redeemed people.
In love He receives His people as His own. Before the world was framed, He inscribed them on the tablets of His heart.
In love He undertakes their cause and espouses them as His bride.
In love He works out for them a righteousness so bright, so perfect, so glorious that Jehovah's eye can find no flaw, no spot, no blemish in it.
In love He beautifies them with His shining robe and fits them for the banquet in the Heaven of heavens.
In love He guards them from every foe and makes them more than conquerors over all the hosts of darkness.
In love He causes all things to work together for their good.
In love He leads them to lie down in the rich pastures of Bible truth and instructs them in the Word which is "able to make them wise unto salvation."
In love He will come again to receive them to Himself.
In love He will present them pure and blameless to His Father with exceeding joy.
In love He will dwell among them through the ages of eternity!
