"Salvation is of the LORD." -Jonah 2:9

God’s wisdom formed the vast design To ransom us when lost; And Christ’s own blood and righteousness Provided all the costs.

In knowing what is the hope of their effectual calling, the saints of God learn that this hope embraces all things which are made theirs in Christ, whether life or death, or things present or things to come, that all are theirs; and for this blessed and all-sufficient reason, that they are Christ's and Christ is God's.
