God Wills Our Salvation
Ephesians 1:5
Having predestinated us to the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,


When the Crusaders heard the voice of Peter the Hermit, as he bade them go to Jerusalem to take it from the hands of the invaders, they cried out at once, "Deus vult; God wills it; God wills it"; and every man plucked his sword from its scabbard, and set out to reach the holy sepulchre, for God willed it. So come and drink, sinner; God wills it. Trust Jesus; God wills it. "Father, Thy will be done on earth even as it is in heaven."

(C. H. Spurgeon.)
