Spurgeon Quote
I must take you now, my brethren, to the glittering treasury of divine grace. You know its name, it is called the Covenant.
Have you not heard the marvellous story of what was done in the olden time before the world was made? God foreknew that man would fall, but he determined by his own infinite purpose and will that he would raise out of this fall a multitude which no man can number. The Eternal Father held a solemn council with the Son and Holy Spirit.
Thus spoke the Father:—“I wish that those whom I have chosen be saved!” Thus said the Son:—“My Father, I am ready to bleed and die that your justice may not suffer and that your purpose may be executed.” “I will,” said the Holy Spirit, “that those whom the Son redeems with blood shall be called by grace, shall be quickened, shall be preserved, shall be sanctified and perfected, and brought safely home.”
Then was the Covenant written, signed, and sealed, and ratified between the Sacred Three. The Father gave his Son, the Son gave himself, and the Spirit promises all his influence, all his presence, to all the chosen. Then the Father gave to the Son his elect people, then the Son gave himself to the elect, and took them into union with him; and then the Spirit in covenant vowed that these chosen ones should surely be brought safely home at last.
Whenever I think of the old covenant of grace, I am perfectly amazed and staggered with the grace of it. I could not be an Arminian on any inducement; the very poetry of our holy religion lies in these ancient things of the everlasting hills, that glorious covenant signed and sealed, and ratified, in all things ordered well from old eternity.
