“And the Holy Scripture calls God’s election the Book of Life.  As I said before, Jesus Christ serves for a Register:  it is He in whom we are engraved, and in whom God acknowledges us for His children.  Seeing then that God had an eye unto us in the person of Jesus Christ, it follows that He finds nothing in us which we might lay before Him to cause Him to elect us.”  John Calvin  (1509-1564)

“The smoke and the fragrance ascend to heaven.  All is accepted—Christ first, then each of His people.  He passed through suffering, fire and flame—then was accepted.  They being reckoned one with Him, are treated as if they had done so too.  Whatever sufferings are left to them are not atoning, but only sanctifying.”  A.A. Bonar (1714-1773)
