What a Mighty God we Serve!
He sent redemption to his people; he has commanded his covenant forever. Holy and awesome is his name! Psalm 111:19.
What kind of love is hereby expressed? God, of His own free will, has sent redemption while we were (and are) in darkness. He desires that we become His people. He has chosen us to be the inheritors of redemption through His grace and mercy. He took the initiative and sent redemption! We accept it.
We did not purchase it, can not work for it, did not even seek after it. But God, in His sovereignty, delights in making us His children through Christ Jesus, our Lord and Savior. We accept it.
He established a Covenant in Jesus, which is eternal. We cannot add clauses it to, cannot mitigate its effectiveness or tamper with it in any way — it is inviolable. If we seek to violate it, it is something other than God’s Holy Covenant. We accept it.
Note the joy of the psalmist. Having spoken to redemptive grace and covenantal mercy, he erupts into praise. How could he not? Holy and awesome; great and marvelous, just and righteous, loving and lovely is our Lord God Almighty.
Praise Him with me this day fellow Christians — what a Mighty God! Amen and hallelujah.
