Matthew HenryNone can know their election but by their conformity to the image of Christ; for all that are chosen are chosen to sanctification.
Matthew HenryLet us watch against unbelief, pride, and self-confidence. If we go forth in our own strength, we shall faint, and utterly fall; but, waiting on the Lord, out of weakness we shall be made strong. Having our hearts and our hopes in heaven, we shall be carried above all difficulties, and be enabled to press forward and lay hold of the prize of our high calling in Christ Jesus.
Matthew Henry
