- 2 Thessalonians 1:11 Seeing that we have the mark set before us, it remaineth that we go unto it. And we go to it, by certain degrees of causes: first by the free love and good pleasure of God, by virtue whereof all other inferior causes work: from thence proceedeth the free calling to Christ, and from calling, faith, whereupon followeth both the glorifying of Christ in us, and us in Christ.
- 2 Thessalonians 1:11 By (calling) he meaneth not the very act of calling, but that selfsame thing whereunto we are called, which is the glory of that heavenly kingdom.
- 2 Thessalonians 1:11 Which he determined long since, only upon his gracious and merciful goodness toward you.
- 2 Thessalonians 1:11 So then, faith is an excellent work of God in us: and we see here plainly that the Apostle leaveth nothing to free will, to make it checkmate with God’s working therein, as the Papists dream.
