Marveling at our salvation

How often do we stop to marvel at our salvation?

Paul did.

But when God, who from my mother’s womb set me apart and called me by his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son in me… (Galatians 1:15-16)

Paul was speaking of himself, but his words also apply to us.

When we were still in our mother’s womb, God set us apart for himself.

Then in his timing, he called us by his grace.

And by that same grace, he uses our lives to reveal his Son to those around us so that they might find him too.

Take some time and think on those words.

Think of God’s eyes on you as you were in your mother’s womb. And as you see him looking upon you in love, hear him saying, “I choose you.”

Then think of all the things God did, the little “coincidences” he used to bring you to himelf.

Finally, consider how incredible it is that he would choose to use you, imperfect though you are, to reveal his Son to those around you.

Marvel at these things.

Marvel at God’s grace.

Marvel at your salvation.
