THROUGH THE BIBLE IN THREE YEARS
It takes hundreds of nuts to hold a car together, but only one to scatter it all over the highway!

God did not save me because I had good parents.
He "delighted in me," and gave me good parents, who would lead me to Christ.
God did not save me because He knew beforehand that I would be good.
God "delighted in me" even though He knew beforehand that I would be bad!
God "delivered me" from eternal condemnation because "He delighted in me."
That's sovereign grace.
That's holy mercy.
And when God "delivered me," He put me in a "large place!"
He put me in His church!
There I learned the goodness of God and the sinfulness of man.
There I learned the love of God offering forgiveness through Christ.
There I learned the surrender of man to Christ, as Lord, brings salvation.
In God's church, His family, I am: educated, comforted, encouraged, inspired, and find a place of service to my Lord.
Aren't you glad God "delighted in" you, "delivered" you, and put you in a "large place?"
Love ya,
Bruce
