“‘Called’ means designated and set apart by an action of God to some special sphere and manner of being and of consequent activity.” (Page 3)

“This Eighth of Romans, then, comes after the work of Christ—after His atoning blood has put the believer’s sins away; after he has seen, also, that he died with Christ,—to sin, and also to that legal responsibility he had in Adam; after the words, ‘Sin shall not have dominion over you, for ye are not under Law, but under Grace’; and, finally, after the hopeless struggle of the apostle has shown ‘the flesh’ to be incurably bad; and that there is a blessed deliverance, which, though not changing ‘the body of this death,’ nevertheless gives freedom therefrom ‘through our Lord Jesus Christ.’” (Page 201)

“Now it is not necessary nor right to make God the author of Pharaoh’s stubbornness. No more is it right to insist that if God be a God of love He must save everybody, as all sorts of Universalists claim. Ex. 7:13, 14 records Pharaoh’s attitude after the first ‘wonder’; and then God’s report of Pharaoh’s heart-condition,—for God sees the heart: ‘And Pharaoh’s heart was hardened [lit., was strong], and he hearkened not unto them; as Jehovah had spoken.’” (Page 256)

“‘In me dwelleth no good thing.’ And also: ‘I can will, but cannot do!’ This great double lesson must be learned by all of us! (1) There is no good thing in any of us—in ‘our flesh’—our old selves. (2) We cannot do the good we wish or will, to do. Most humbling of all confessions. Renewed, desiring to proceed—we cannot! We are dependent on the Holy Spirit as our only spiritual power, just as on Christ as our only righteousness!” (Page 192)
