Description

“Is the doctrine of Election plainly stated in Scripture? This is the whole question which an honest Christian has to do with. If it is not in the Book of God, let it be forever discarded, refused, and rejected by man, no matter who propounds it. If it is there, let us receive it with reverence, as a part of Divine revelation, and humbly believe, even where we are not able to understand completely or explain fully. What then is written in the Scriptures? “To the law and to the testimony—if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” (Isaiah. 8:20.) Is Election in the Bible, or is it not? Does the Bible speak of certain people as God’s Elect, or not?”
