Election no Reason for Presumption
Bishop Hacket. Luke 4:9-13 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over you, to keep you:… I see now who is the author of that fallacy which, I fear, hath cost many a soul the loss of eternal life, that such as assure themselves they are elect ones, they are the sons of God, may make bold with their Father's mercy, may rely upon it, and now and then transgress His commandments for their pleasure, or profit, or some other fleshly consideration; there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus; God sees no sin in the righteous-though they fall. they shall rise again; and many more such deluding axioms as they apply them, which I beseech you return back again to hell with him that invented them.
