"We must learn that God has chosen us, not because he saw something good in us, or found us more amenable than those whom he rejects, but simply that he might reveal the full splendor of his generosity." -John Calvin, Sermons On The Beatitudes, p. 5.
"Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory,
for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!" -Psalm 115:1
"Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use?" -Romans 9:21
This is the definition of the Sovereign Grace of God. Not that we had any favor, beauty, or blessing in and of ourselves, but that God did all the work. Save the stupid, dumb, deaf, and blind Lord. And let the smart, intelligent, quick witted people die in their sin. Thanks be to God for Grace.
