Why,
if I believed what some preach about the temporary, trumpery salvation which
only lasts for a time, I would scarcely be at all grateful for it; but when I
know that those whom God saves He saves with an everlasting salvation, when I
know that He gives to them an everlasting righteousness, when I know that He
settles them on an everlasting foundation of everlasting love, and that He will
bring them to His everlasting kingdom, oh, then I do wonder, and I am
astonished that such a blessing as this should ever have been given to me!
"Pause, my soul! adore, and wonder! Ask, 'Oh, why such love to me?' Grace
hath put me in the number Of the Savior's
family: Hallelujah! Thanks, eternal thanks, to Thee!"
Charles Spurgeon, A Defense Of Calvinism
