God's Love Displayed in the Salvation
of His People by Charles Simeon Who can comprehend the height
and the width and depth of God's love displayed in the salvation
of His people, that God should so pity us as to give His only
begotten Son to die for us, that He should lay our iniquities
on Jesus as our sin-bearer, and thus make a way for the display
of all His glorious perfections in the salvation of ruined and
rebellious man? What shall we say to this? Every
part of salvation is inestimable and far exceeding all finite
comprehension. The riches of grace contained
in salvation are unsearchable. The peace flowing from salvation
surpasses understanding. The joy imparted by salvation
is unspeakable and full of glory. The whole mystery of salvation,
as planned by the Father in election, as accomplished by the Son in
redemption, as applied by the Spirit in regeneration, as experienced
in the souls of the elect, is so great that we cannot contemplate
it for a moment without exclaiming, O the depth of the riches both
of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His
judgments and His ways past finding out. Romans 11.33 May you have
the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide,
how long, how high and how deep His love is. May you experience
the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully.
Ephesians 3.18-19
