Joh 15:18-19 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

Proverbs 8:20-23
I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment: That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures. The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
“It is not good for people to spend their lives seeking God and not finding peace in Him. It is not good that we should be ever learning and never able to rest in the knowledge of Christ. It is not good to be always doubting, and when asked about our doubts to make the untrue excuse, ‘Oh, I am not doubting God, I am only doubting myself’. No! It is God who promised life in Christ, and it is God whom we are doubting. He said, ‘I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, I WILL GIVE UNTO HIM THAT IS ATHIRST OF THE FOUNTAIN OF THE WATER OF LIFE FREELY.’ (Rev. 21:6). ‘And let him that is athirst come, and whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely’ (Rev. 22:17). Of this promise BONAR wrote, ‘Thirsty one, it is with the WATER and not the VESSEL that our souls need to be concerned! It is not the quality of your vessel, but the quality of the water of life (Christ Jesus) that satisfies, sanctifies, and purifies! And he whose pride will not allow him to drink from a weak, soiled, and broken vessel (such is the best faith) must die of thirst; and he who puts away the promise of reconciliation because of imperfect faith must die the death.’ He who says, ‘I believe the right doctrine, but I don't believe it in the right way; therefore, I can't have peace’ is looking totally in the wrong direction and will never find peace.”

SOVEREIGNTY BELONGS TO GOD
“The sovereignty of God is absolute. To acknowledge this truth is at once to acknowledge that God has foreordained whatsoever comes to pass; that nothing else can come to pass; that predestination is a fact; that God does rule in the kingdoms of men; that all human ties, bonds and relationships are divinely appointed and formed; that salvation rests solely, fully and only in God's election; that salvation is by God's grace and His grace alone; and, that no part of man's salvation is of himself either in origin or execution. Where men get the idea that man's will is the all-determining factor or moving cause of his salvation is hard to see. Certainly, they do not get it from the Bible.”
