““God’s sovereign grace commands and directs man in His appointed and ordained way. Man cannot get “off the track” permanently when he is truly a member of Christ. He has an inevitable and commanding direction which brings purpose and meaning to his life and to the world. He moves in a world of total meaning in which God makes “all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose” (Rom. 8:28). Without this perseverance, neither life nor history would have direction or meaning. With it, they fulfill God’s glorious purpose.””
