The Reach of Almighty Grace

And it shall come to pass in the place where it was said to them, "You are not My people," there it shall be said to them, "You are sons of the living God."

~ Hosea 1:10

  Joined together in hands

  and heart praising our

 Sovereign Grace.

  "Sovereign grace can make strangers into sons, and the Lord here declares His purpose to deal thus with rebels. Let us join hands and hearts in praising Him.
  Some of us were so ungodly that the Lord's Word said to our conscience and heart, "You are not My people." Truly a sad, condemning voice it was.

  God tending to our hearts,

  changing our every thought

  and action.

  But now, in the same places from the same ministry and Scripture, we hear a voice saying, "You are the sons of the living God." Does it not give us hope for others? who is beyond the reach of almighty grace? How can we despair of any, since the Lord has wrought so marvelous a change in us?

    Our Sovereign King,

   God Jehovah watching

   Over His Children.

  He who has kept this one great promise will keep every other; therefore, let us go forward with songs of adoration and confidence."
