July 11 Today’s Verse Ephesians 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: (KJV) For He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless in His presence. In love (BSB)

Today’s Quote God's eternal choice is the foundation of every believer's security. — John Calvin

Spurgeon’s Daily Help God the Father’s sovereign choice, by which He chose us for eternal life before the world began, is incredibly ancient—so ancient that we can’t even comprehend it. We were chosen before the foundations of the world were laid. Everlasting love accompanied this choice, for it wasn’t just a simple act of

divine will; God’s love was deeply involved. The Father has loved us from the very beginning. This is a theme for daily reflection. The eternal plan to redeem us from our future ruin, to cleanse and sanctify us, and finally to glorify us, is of infinite antiquity and is intertwined with unchanging love and absolute sovereignty.
