“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” (55:8, 9)

God is beyond us! If anyone completely understands his ways, the Trinity will have to make room for another member.

Despite our frailty, it is of the greatest importance that though we may not fully grasp the doctrine of election, we understand as much as we can what the Scriptures teach and believe it, for it bears heavily on the doctrine of God. In our day of horizontal focus, when so much is being attributed to man, the concept of God has become decadent and vacuous for many. The need for Scriptural teaching on this matter has never been greater.

We should also note that the doctrine of election is nothing new. It was the view of Tyndale and Wycliffe, of the hymn-writers Isaac Watts and John Newton, of the evangelist George Whitefield, of the revivalist-theologian Jonathan Edwards, of the founder of modern missions William Carey, of the Reformers Melanchthon, Luther, Calvin, Zwingli, Hus, Knox, and of a host of Puritans and great preachers such as C. H. Spurgeon and Alexander Whyte. It is a basic element of Christian theology.
