"GRACE is that UNMERITED FAVOR OF GOD, whereby in His own SOVEREIGN good pleasure, IT PLEASES THE TRIUNE GOD to MANIFEST HIS OWN GLORY ¹ by showing KINDNESS and MERCY to those whom, before the foundation of the world, GOD THE FATHER CHOSE, OR ELECTED ² to save, or redeem (with absolutely NO consideration or foresight of anything good in them) from among His enemies,³ ALL of which are by nature rebellious, Hell-deserving sinners, as fallen through the sin of the first man Adam, their federal head and representative ⁴ -- by effectually calling them through GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT,⁵ to repentance toward God, and faith in His dear Son,⁶ by justifying them,⁷ by delivering them from the reigning power of sin and Satan,⁸ by adopting them into His family and giving them the Spirit of adoption, the Holy Spirit, to indwell them,⁹ by giving them spiritual and eternal life ¹⁰ and transforming them by regeneration, or the New Birth,¹¹ so that they willingly ¹² become His true worshippers,¹³ and His obedient, loving servants,¹⁴ and who are ultimately to be glorified, or perfectly conformed to the image of His dear Son ¹⁵ -- all of this at a TREMENDOUS COST to Him of incomprehensible PERSONAL SACRIFICE: ¹⁶ the VOLUNTARY, SUBSTITUTIONARY, PROPITIATORY SACRIFICE,¹⁷ the shedding of the PRECIOUS BLOOD,¹⁸ of His only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ ¹⁹ (who is GOD THE SON manifest in human flesh) in their behalf." ²⁰
