“His wisdom, which cannot err.  His knowledge, which cannot be deceived.  His truth, which cannot fail.  His love, which nothing can alienate.  His justice, which cannot condemn any for whom Christ died.  His power, which none can resist, and His unchangeableness, which can never vary…from all which it appears that we do not speak at all improperly when we say that the salvation of His people is necessary and certain.”  Jerome Zanchius  (1516-1590)
