Election: Its Defenses and Evidences
Description: "We know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you, because our gospel came to you not simply with words, but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction. You became imitators of us and of the Lord; in spite of severe suffering, you welcomed the message with the joy given by the Holy Spirit." [1 Thessalonians 1:4-6] "At the very announcement of the text some will be ready to say, “Why preach upon so profound a doctrine as election?” I answer, because it is in God’s word, and whatever is in the Word of God is to be preached.
But you will say, "But some truths ought to be kept back from the people, lest they would make improper use of it." That is Roman Catholic doctrine, it was on that very theory that the priests kept the Bible from the people, they did not give it to them lest they should misuse it.
"But aren’t some doctrines dangerous?" Not if they are true and correctly handled. Truth is never dangerous, it is error and silence that are filled with peril.
However, take any doctrine, and preach on it exclusively, and you distort it. The most beautiful face in the world, with the most lovely features, would soon become grotesque if one feature were permitted to expand while the rest were kept in their usual form. Proportion, I take it, is beauty, and to preach every truth in its right proportion, neither keeping back any nor giving undue prominence to any, is to preach the whole truth as Christ would have it preached. A Gospel that has the proper proportions is thus complete and harmonious and therefore we may expect it to have the blessing of the Most High."
