DailyTheocentrism: If salvific election were not sure, it would have been possible that Christ die for no one. – JI Packer
How absurd it is to leave such movements of reality, yea THE MAIN EVENT of the Gospel, into the hands of men.
To have a fuller version of this, read J.I. Packer’s introduction in Death of Deaths by John Owen.
“Salvific” – the adjective form of salvation (just in case) 🙂

DailyTheocentrism: Deut. 29:29 – the arrogant search for the things that cannot be known at the cost of the things that can.
God has even set the boundaries of the mind. Want to know the will of God? It is already revealed. To quote another, “95% in the Scriptures – get the 95% right and the 5% will be no problem.”
We’ve never been able to know anything fully, but we can know it truly.
DailyTheocentrism: A command to delight always must be coupled with always delightfulness
That is why we can only fully delight in God.
4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.
(NASB, Php 4:4)
