Elect in Christ

John MacArthur: This is John MacArthur inviting you to join me for Portraits of Grace. As Christians, you have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, scripture says. Before the foundation of the world, God placed His love on you and brought you into His kingdom.

The fact that God chose you exalts Him by demonstrating His love and grace toward miserable sinners. It eliminates pride by affirming that you are totally dependent on God’s grace. And it ought to promote such gratitude that you long to live in holiness and serve Him at any price.

Rejoice in your election and yield to the Holy Spirit’s leading so God’s choice of you will be evident to all who know you. This is John MacArthur, trusting that your life is a portrait of grace.
