An idea in man is first impressed upon him and afterwards expressed in things, but in God it is only expressed, not impressed, because it does not come from anywhere else.

Sanctification is the real change in man from the sordidness of sin to the purity of God's image.

The good pleasure of God is an act of the divine will freely and effectively determining all things.

Sanctification is not to be understood here as a separation from ordinary use or consecration to some special use, although this meaning is often present in Scripture, sometimes referring to outward and sometimes to inward or effectual separation.

The will of God is eternal because He does not begin to will what He did not will before, nor cease to will what He willed before.

Everyone who understands the nature of God rightly necessarily knows that God is to be believed and hoped in, that he is to be loved and called upon, and to be heard in all things.
