Now, if we are not really ashamed of the Gospel,
we must of necessity acknowledge what is therein openly declared: that
God by His eternal goodwill (for which there was no other cause than
His own purpose), appointed those whom He pleased unto salvation, rejecting
all the rest; and that those whom He blessed with this free adoption
to be His sons He illumines by His Holy Spirit, that they may receive
the life which is offered to them in Christ; while others, continuing
of their own will in unbelief, are left destitute of the light of faith,
in total darkness. -- John Calvin
