"God began the work of grace in the soul. He had a design in it. It was deliberate, and intentional. It was not by chance or haphazard. It was because he had some object that was worthy of his interposition.
There is no reason why he should begin such a work and then abandon it. God abandons nothing that he undertakes. There are no unfinished worlds or systems; no half-made and forsaken works of His hands. There is no evidence in His works of creation of change of plan, or of having forsaken what He began from disgust, or disappointment, or lack of power to complete them. Why should there be in the salvation of the soul? God’s grace is the beginning and the end; man’s co-operation lies in the intermediate process linking both together. " Matthew Henry
Charles Spurgeon: "If he gives you the grace to make you believe, he will give you the grace to live a holy life afterward."
