St. Martin Luther
"Regarding the Doctrine of Election"

"...whoever does not deny himself and does not learn to keep his thoughts in subjection to the divine will, never will find an answer to his questions. And that rightly so, for the foolish wisdom of the flesh exalts itself above God and judges his will, just as though this were of little importance... For this reason the Apostle refutes all objections with two brief statements [Rom 9:20 and 21].The third thought is that this doctrine is indeed most bitter to the wisdom of the flesh... But [the flesh] is fully defeated when we learn to know that our salvation rests in no wise upon ourselves and our conduct, but is founded solely upon what is outside us, namely, on God's election. Those who have the wisdom of the Spirit become ineffably happy through this doctrine...If one fears that he is not elected or is otherwise troubled about his election, he should be thankful that he has such fear, for then he should surely know that God cannot lie when in Psalm 51:17 He says: "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise." Thus [the fearful] should cheerfully cast himself on the faithfulness of God who gives this promise... It is not the characteristic of reprobates to tremble at the secret counsel of God; but that is the characteristic of the elect." ~ Martin Luther
