Quotes about Election

These men were not selected by a jury of fellow artists, but appointed by the sovereign and electing choice of God.

The Calvinistic system involves a positive truth: the election to eternal life by free grace, and the negative inference: the reprobation to eternal death by arbitrary justice. The former is the strength, the latter is the weakness of the system. The former is practically accepted by all true believers; the latter always has been, and always will be, repelled by the great majority of Christians.

And the Church is directed to send the gospel to every creature. We pray for the salvation of all men, but not for the loss of a single human being.

The decree of reprobation cannot be made an object of prayer or preaching, and this is an argument against it. Experience confirms election, but repudiates reprobation.

He is going to help us and Mary will be on our side. Thank you

I have never yet exercised the privilege of voting, but had I been called upon at the last presidential election to do so, I should most certainly have cast my vote for Mr. Clay.

In election and "irresistible" grace God does not disregard or act contrary to the will of any man or woman, as implied above. Rather, He regenerates the individual, as the result of which a will is born that now desires what the old will previously despised. Before, George hated Christ. Now he loves Him and so comes willingly when the gospel is preached. Again, if Mary desires to come, it is not in spite of God's predetermination in her case but because of it.

I supported Hillary Clinton. She would have made an excellent president. I didn't think she could get elected. I thought it was too soon.
