The marvel of marvels is not that God, in his infinite love, has not elected all this guilty race to be saved, but that he has elected any.
— Benjamin B. Warfield
Election
If God would have painted a yellow stripe on the backs of the elect, I would go around lifting shirts. But since he didn’t, I must preach “whosoever will”; and when “whosoever” believes, I know he is one of the elect.
— C. H. Spurgeon
Election
‘Tis not that I did choose thee, for, Lord, that could not be;
This heart would still refuse thee, hadst thou not chosen me.
Thou from the sin that stained me hast cleansed and set me free;
Of old thou hast ordained me, that I should live to thee.
— Josiah Conder
Election and Faith
No man believes with a true and saving faith unless God inclines his heart; and no man when God does incline his heart can refrain from believing.
— Blaise Pascal
