揀選與永生確據

The Christian's eternal security is rooted not in what he has done, but in where he has been placed.

基督徒的永生確據可不是根基在他做了些甚麼,而是他的根基在那裡。

We do despite to the doctrines of election and predestination when we use them as a kind of theological hand grenade to throw at each other.  They are not given to us for that purpose; they are given as mighty stabilizers.

Eric Alexander

當我們把揀選及預定當成神學手榴彈彼此亂扔一氣時,那我們就可以甭理這樣的教義了。揀選與預定的教義可不是這樣用的,而是要當我們信仰的特效安定劑的。

As God did not at first choose you because you were high, so he will not forsake you because you are low.

George S. Bishop

上帝不會因為你高而揀選你,同樣的,祂也不會因為你低而放棄你。

God's plans reach from an eternity past to an eternity to come.  Let him take his own time.

William S. Plumer

上帝的計畫從亙古到未來。讓上帝慢慢來吧。

God never repents of his electing love.

Thomas Watson

上帝從未後悔祂的揀選的愛。

God's call is founded upon his decree, and his decree is immutable.

Thomas Watson

上帝的呼召根基在祂的律令上,而祂的律令是不會改變的。
