WORDS OF WONDER

* It is God Himself who maketh the difference between the elect and the
   non-elect.

* God claims the undisputable right to do as He wills with His own.


* People will be in hell not because they were not elected, but because
   they rejected and refused to believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and
   Saviour.
