The scriptures declare that God’s love was manifested towards us, because that He sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. It is in Him that we have been blessed with all spiritual and heavenly blessings; by which we cannot help but have joy. Before the foundation of the world, God predetermined by the counsel of His own will, that we should be made Holy by separation from sin, being set apart to God, and Sanctified by the Holy Spirit, in the consequence of our election in Christ. All who are chosen to happiness as the end, are chosen to Holiness as the means. Because of His great love for us, God has appointed this method of redemption; spared not his own Son; and brought Believers to hear and embrace this salvation. It was rich Grace to provide such a surety as His own Son, and freely to deliver Him up. By this divine Grace, we are made accepted in the Beloved; deserving of God’s love; and there placed in a position of "High Favor", in the place where He directs His love towards us…in the Beloved.
