CHRIST IS ALL IN ELECTION
Jesus
Christ is a Christian’s "all in all"
[COLOSSIANS
3:11].
Jesus Christ is "all in all" in election [EPHESIANS
1:4]. He has
"chosen us in Him,"
as our Head. The free grace and love of God is the head of election.
God did, therefore, choose us, because He did love us; and He did
therefore love us, because He would love us. No other reason can be
given [DEUTERONOMY
7:7-8]. But the
Head of the elect is Christ. God the Father gave them to Him to be
His body, and Him to them to be their Head. Except for Christ and His
undertaking for us, there had been no such thing as electing of us.
-Gospel report by preacher Phillip Henry (1631–1696 A.D.)
