(John MacDuff, "Looking unto Jesus!" 1856)
"Consider what great things He has done for you!" 1 Samuel 12:24
What, O Christian, has God done for you?
He has blotted out your sins from the book of His remembrance.
He has regenerated you, and made you a new creature in Christ Jesus.
He has destroyed the enmity of your carnal mind, and shed abroad His love in your heart, by the Holy Spirit whom He has given you.
He has delivered you from the tyranny of Satan, and translated you from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of His beloved Son.
He has, in a word, reconciled you to Himself, justified you freely by His grace, adopted you into His family, and given you a name and place in His house, better than that of sons or of daughters!
