Encouraging Encounters with God's Word

Gems from Spurgeon:

"The object of God in choosing a people before all worlds was not only to save that people, but through them to confer essential benefits upon the whole human race. When He chose Abraham, He did not elect him simply to be God’s friend and the recipient of peculiar privileges, but He chose him to make him, as it were, the conservator of truth. He was to be the ark in which the truth should be hidden. He was to be the keeper of the covenant in behalf of the whole world.

"And when God chooses any men by His sovereign grace and makes them Christ’s, He does it not only for their own sake, that they may be saved, but for the world’s sake."
