God is a God of truth before he speaks to man. It’s important that we think about this. Otherwise we tend to think of God only in relation to us as if his attributes have no meaning or significance apart from us. This makes far too much of us. And it runs the risk of demeaning God’s self-sufficiency - that he is gloriously and absolutely God and true apart from us, and without us. - John Piper

The Doctrines of Grace have become very precious to me over the last few years. This post will deal briefly with two areas, gratitude and confidence.
To know that you have been chosen of God not because of anything you have done or for qualities that you where born with, causes the heart to sing with gratitude. To feel God’s transforming sovereign mercy brings great joy.
To know that my salvation was brought about completely by God’s sovereign power gives great confidence in the fight against self and Satan. To know that what God has started in my heart he will by His omnipotent power finish, brings fresh waves of joy and confidence each day.
