What a beautiful expression of gratitude to the Lord! It is a privilege to be part of God's people and experience His grace and undeserved love. As Spurgeon mentions here, it is comforting to know that we are part of the Lord's people not by our own works, but by His grace. Let us always remember that our security and certainty come from Him and not from our actions. As it says in Ezekiel 34:30, "Then they will know that I, the LORD their God, am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are My people," and in Matthew 28:20, "Remember (behold )! I am with you every day, until the end of the world." Let us continue to thank and trust in the faithfulness of our God. Hallelujah!
