I stumbled across this site called Of First Importance that each day provides "one quote to help you live in the good of the gospel." This was listed in the "About Us" section of the blog:
Josh Etter, Fred Eaton and Bart Byl who are three brothers in Christ whose friendship is rooted in the gospel. All three are members of Crossway Community Church in Surrey, BC, where Fred serves on the pastoral team. Crossway is part of the Sovereign Grace family of churches. We’ve all spent far too much time looking inward instead of upward (Col 3:1), only to futility and despair. This blog was born out of our own need to live each day in the good of the gospel.
Their blog started back in July 2007 and has some wonderful quotes based on Scripture. This quote was from today called "I am His":
“I am His by purchase and I am His by conquest; I am His by donation and I am His by election; I am His by covenant and I am His by marriage; I am wholly His; I am peculiarly His; I am universally His; I am eternally His.
Once I was a slave but now I am a son; once I was dead but now I am alive; once I was darkness but now I am light in the Lord; once I was a child of wrath, an heir of hell, but now I am an heir of heaven; once I was Satan’s bond-servant but now I am God’s freeman; once I was under the spirit of bondage but now I am under the Spirit of adoption that seals up to me the remission of my sins, the justification of my person and the salvation of my soul.”
