Well said Dr. E. His glory is what matters. -- This is another wonderful article by Warfield. I loved the simplicity of this passage:
"To Calvinism, sinful man stands in need, not of inducements or assistance to save himself; but precisely of saving; and Jesus Christ has come not to advise, or urge, or woo, or help him to save himself; but to save him; to save him through the prevalent working on him of the Holy Spirit."
Amen. I can't think of a thing to add to this. It is beautiful. Thank you so much for showing this to me.
"It is born of the reflection in the heart of man of the glory of a God who will not give His honour to another, and draws its life from constant gaze upon this great image."
This is wonderful too. When one is in this state, it seems to me that sin becomes impossible, so it is an enormous measure of protection, to say nothing of peace.
