Has it ever come into your mind what sort of a thrill the delight of God in Christ must cause in heaven? And is it indeed true that we are accepted in the Beloved, and that God loves us as He loves Christ, because, we are in Him and He in us? What in you can interfere with the delight of God in His Son? His delight in believers is not in themselves, but in connection with Christ and redemption. His blood has washed all my sin away, my soul is in Him―one with Him; all my guilt and misery judged on the cross.
Oh, it makes one feel very little; it sinks one into insignificance as being nothing and Christ everything; God is looking on His Son with ever the same delight, seeing His members and loving them as such! It is pure grace from first to last.
G.V.W.
