“The foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are His” (2Ti 2:19). The foundation on which God’s elect stand is a perfect one: nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it (Ecc 3:14). Here, then, is the highest and grandest display of the absolute sovereignty of God. Verily, He has “mercy on whom He will have mercy, and whom He will He hardeneth” (Rom 9:18).
