"The Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me!" Galatians 2:20

Well may every child of God exclaim with wonder, "What astonishing love is this,
  that You have loved me from eternity past,
  that You should give Your precious Son to redeem me,
  and Your eternal Spirit to sanctify me by His grace?"

In the review of his own life, he may well add, "Why me, Lord?" Why have You,
  chosen me,
  and redeemed me,
  and snatched me as a burning brand out of the fire!

Yes truly, in the review of all these mercies, I must of necessity exclaim: I praise You Lord, with all my soul! May I never forget the wondrous things which You have done for me! You have . . .
  forgiven all my sins,
  and redeemed me from damnation,
  and will crown me with Your love and tender mercies forever!"

Ephesians 1:3-6, "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ! For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight. In love He predestined us to be adopted as His sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will, to the praise of His glorious grace, which He has freely given us in the One He loves!"
