Oh stand and wonder!

Thomas Brooks, "The Crown and Glory of Christianity, or, HOLINESS, the Only Way to Happiness", 1662)


"How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!" 1 John 3:1

O sirs! what matter of admiration is this--that the great and glorious God, who has many millions of glorious angels attending Him--that He should . . .

look upon all holy people as His sons, and

love them as His sons, and

delight in them as His sons, and

clothe them as His sons, and

feed them as His sons, and

protect them as His sons!

What great love is this--that those who have . . .

so highly provoked God,

walked so cross and contrary to God,

were so exceeding unlike God,

preferred every lust, and every toy and vanity before God,

fought many years under Satan's banner against God,

refused all the kind offers of mercy from God;

that those who have deserved to be . . .

reprobated by God,

damned by God, and

to be thrown to hell by God--

that these should be made the sons of God!

Oh stand and wonder! Oh stand and admire the freeness of His grace, and the riches of His grace!"

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!" 1 John 3:1

    "How deep the Father's love for us - how vast beyond all measure; that He should give His only Son; to make a wretch His treasure."
