One of my favourite quotes is by John Newton, which is particularly topical at present given the upcoming release of the film 'Amazing Grace'; the title taken from the famous hymn that he wrote. In old age he was found to say "My memory is nearly gone, but I remember two things, that I am a great sinner, and that Christ is a great Saviour."
What a sense of awe that must give us at all that Christ has done for us. We are working through Ephesians at Castlemilk just now and it has been marvellous for us to stop and ponder God's character put to work in those who are called to be His. So we are adopted according to His love for us in Christ. We are redeemed according to His grace to us in Christ. We are chosen according to His will for us in Christ. We are possessed according to His faithfulness to us in Christ. To the praise of His glory!
