Thank God for His Eternal Purposes and Counsels Concerning Man’s Redemption

Thanksgiving 4.11 | ESV

For the eternal purposes and counsels of God concerning man’s redemption.

We ought always to give thanks to you, O God, because you have chosen some to salvation through sanctification by the Spirit: 2 Thessalonians 2:13(ESV) That there is a remnant, chosen by grace, Romans 11:5(ESV) whom God has chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world, that they should be holy and blameless before you in love, having predestined them for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to yourself, according to the purpose of your will, to the praise of your glorious grace. Ephesians 1:4-6(ESV)

Yours they were, and you gave them to Christ; John 17:6(ESV) and this is your will: that you should lose nothing of all that you have given him, but raise it up on the last day. John 6:39(ESV)

Thank God for His Grace to your Soul and for Design

Thanksgiving 4.10 | KJV

The goodness of his grace relating to my soul and the life that is to come.

But especially blessed be the God and Father of my Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed me with all spiritual blessings in heavenly things in Christ. Ephesians 1:3(KJV)

1st, I must give God thanks for his kindnesses to the children of men, relating to their better part and their future state and his favours to the church in general.

I must give thanks for his gracious design and contrivance of man’s redemption and salvation, when he was lost and undone by sin.

O how wonderfully did the kindness and love of God my Saviour towards man appear, not by any works of righteousness which I have done, but according to his mercy he saved me: Titus 3:4-5(KJV) I had destroyed myself, but in thee, and thee only, was my help. Hosea 13:9 (KJV)

When I was cast out in the open field, and no eye pitied me, thou sawest me polluted in my own blood, and thou saidest unto me, Live; yea, thou saidest unto me, Live; Ezekiel 16:5-6(KJV) and the time was a time of love. Ezekiel 16:8(KJV)

When the redemption of the soul was so precious, as that it must have ceased for ever, and no man could by any means redeem his brother or give to God a ransom for him, Psalm 49:7-8(KJV) then thou wast pleased to find a ransom, that I might be delivered from going down to the pit. Job 33:24(KJV)

When I must needs die, and was as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again, then didst thou devise means that the banished might not be for ever expelled from thee. 2 Samuel 14:14(KJV)

When thou sparedst not the angels that sinned, but didst cast them down to hell; 2 Peter 2:4(KJV) thou saidst concerning the rage of mankind, Destroy it not for a blessing is in it. Isaiah 65:8(KJV) appears the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world for his people’s glory. 1 Corinthians 2:7(KJV)

When I was thrown out into the open field, and no eye looked with pity on me, You saw me squirming in my blood, and You said to me, “Live!” Yes, You said to me, “Live!” Ezekiel 16:5-6(NASB) And the time was a time for love. Ezekiel 16:8(NASB)

When the redemption of the soul was so costly that men should cease trying forever, and no man could by any means redeem his brother or give to God a ransom for him, Psalm 49:7-8(NASB) then You were pleased to find a ransom, that I might be delivered from going down to the pit. Job 33:24(NASB)

When I would surely die and was like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again, then did You plan ways so that the banished one might not be forever cast out from You. 2 Samuel 14:14(NASB)

When You did not spare the angels that sinned, but cast them into hell, 2 Peter 2:4(NASB) You said concerning the rage of mankind, “Do not destroy it, for there is benefit in it.” Isaiah 65:8(NASB) appears the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the ages to His people’s glory. 1 Corinthians 2:7(NASB)
