“Teach me to do thy will.”  We are to pray that God would teach us to know, and then teach us to do his will.  Knowledge without obedience is lame, obedience without knowledge is blind; and we must never hope for acceptance if we offer the blind and the lame to God.”  Vincent Alsop  (1703)

“The Holy Scripture calls God’s election the Book of Life.  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)
