Excerpt: ...God has the same right that the potter has over the clay. If they complain that God has chosen some, and not others, to life, he replies, that so oxen, horses, and sheep might complain that they were not men. 4. God causes the sin which he forbids. This is not a contradiction in him, for his nature is different from ours. God created all for his own glory, and sinners to glorify his justice.

They were taught the unity of God and his holiness . They were a city set on a hill, a light shining in the darkness of the pg 277 world, to proclaim these truths. That was their opportunity. It was not happiness, or heaven, or even goodness, that they were chosen for, but work . As long...
