Just as it is written: "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.“…

Spurgeon• I believe the doctrine of election, because I am quite sure that if God had not chosen me
I should never have chosen him; and I am sure he chose me before I was born, or else he never would have chosen me afterwards;
and he must have elected me for reasons unknown to me, for I never could find any
reason in myself why he should have looked upon me with special love

Spurgeon• Election in the Christians should make him very FEARLESS and BOLD. No man will be so bold as he who believes that he is elect of God. What worry
does he have about man, if he is chosen of his Maker? What will he care for the pitiful chirpings of some tiny sparrows when he knows that he is an eagle of the royal race? Will he care when the beggar makes fun of him, when the royal blood of
heaven runs in his veins? Will he fear if all the world stands against him? If all the earth is at war, he dwells in perfect peace, for he is in the secret place of the tabernacle of the Most High, in the
great pavilion of the Almighty
