All Whom The FATHER Chose The SON Redeemed

All Mine are Yours--
and Yours are Mine!

(James Smith, "The Pleading Savior" 1861)

"All Mine are Yours--

and Yours are Mine!" 

John 17:10

This claim of JESUS refers 

especially to the elect. Says 

JESUS, 

"All whom the FATHER has, 

are Mine!" 

They are MINE by redemption--

and Yours by election!

Election, redemption, 

sanctification, and glorification--

are divine works encompassing 

the same people.

All whom the FATHER chose--

the SON redeemed;

all whom the SON redeemed--

the SPIRIT sanctifies;

and all who are . . .

  chosen by the FATHER,

  redeemed by the SON,

  and sanctified by the SPIRIT--

  are certainly and eternally glorified! 

"For those HE foreknew--
HE also predestined to be 
conformed to the image of HIS SON.
  And those HE predestined--HE also called;
  and those HE called--HE also justified;
  and those HE justified--HE also glorified!"
    Romans 8:29-30

The FATHER'S children--

constitute the SON'S Church;

the FATHER'S beloved--

is the SON'S bride;

the FATHER'S property--

is the SON'S portion.

"All MINE"--that is, all of MY disciples, 

MY friends, MY sheep--

"are YOURS."

The FATHER as CREATOR, 

gives them to the SON as REDEEMER.

The SON as REDEEMER, hands them 

over to the SPIRIT as the SANCTIFIER.

The SPIRIT works in them all the good 

pleasure of HIS goodness, and brings 

them to the SON, who presents them 

to the FATHER as a radiant church, 

without stain or wrinkle or any other 

blemish, but holy and blameless!
