P. 108: "Nevertheless, the permission of [sins] is good. So then, God both wills and directs the permission, and ordains it for some good purpose that is greater than that of which the absence is the evil that is permitted. For since God is good to the highest degree, He would in no way permit there to be anything evil in his workings, unless He were not so almighty that even concerning evil He would still do good."

742: We should apply [Christ's final judgment] especially in our own practice against unholy living and complacency, "that we fear the Lord because the hour of his judgment is coming" (Rev. 14:7) ... and also to rouse us to acts of kindness towards our neighbors (Phil. 4:5), especially the poor -- which kindness the great Judge on that day will deem as having been done to him [Matt. 25:40].

P. 332: Christ did in fact experience the full extent of the hellish agonies and torments, along with God's abandonment and rejection of him (something that of itself always accompanies eternal death), having been forsaken and rejected by him even unto hell, which otherwise would have been necessary for us to experience.

P. 325: Every day the Church experiences the fruits ... of Christ's sitting down at the Father's right hand; and the enemies of Christ, including even Satan himself, whether they like it or not, marvel at it, and tremble. For Christ gathers his Church ... while they vainly resist; he preserves it against the tyranny of the whole world and the gates of hell, and he destroys the antichrist by the spirit of his mouth.

P. 263: The immutability of [election] is sufficiently shown by the very nature of God. Someone who changes his plan usually changes it either for a lack of wisdom when he was considering it, or because of a failure to of power when carrying it out -- neither of these defects can be attributed to God without blasphemy.

P. 203: But what we must especially fear is that "outside will be all those who serve idols" (Rev. 22:15); that is, they will be barred from the kingdom of heaven (1 Cor. 6:9), and "their lot will be in the lake burning with fire and sulphur, which is the second death" (Rev 21:8). Therefore, "little children, keep yourselfes from idols, Amen." (1 John 5:21).

P. 178: Then [when glorified] in the mind of man there will shine forth the most perfect knowledge of God and of his will, an integrity of judgment that has no ignorance or doubts. In the will, the heart, the feelings and in all powers, being perfect in every way, and without any oppisition, there will thrive an inclination, a tendency, an eagerness, and a desire to obey God... His will shall be truly free.

P. 165: After the sin has been committed, [believers] do not remain defeated, but through true repentance and grief towards God they rise up once again, and thereupon wage war against the world, their own flesh, and Satan more seriously and steadfastly, as is evident from the examples of those saints whose fall Scripture records for us.

P. 131: For someone to exercise dominion, he must be endowed with the gift of a soul that reasons; but to do so fairly and peaceably, he must certainly be wise, holy, and just. And if he would also put his dominion into practice, he must have a body well-prepared for actions that accord with a soul that is sound. And finally, for the dominion to be perpetual, the man must be immortal.

P. 98: Augustine speaks about it as follows: "It is enough for the Christian to believe that the only cause for the creation of things is the goodness of the Creator."
