When God issues a call to us, it is always a holy call. The vocation of dying is a sacred vocation. To understand that is one of the most important lessons a Christian can ever learn. When the summons comes, we can respond in many ways. We can become angry, bitter or terrified. But if we see it as a call from God and not a threat from Satan, we are far more prepared to cope with its difficulties.
R. C. SproulIn salvation we are not only saved from sin and damnation; we are saved unto holiness. The goal of redemption is holiness.
R. C. SproulWithout God upholding the universe from moment to moment, nothing could continue to be.
