A Sure Forerunner of Glory...
"Effectual calling is the middle link in the undividable chain of salvation: he that hath it is sure of both the ends [i.e. of his past predestination to life and of his future glorification ]. Our calling is the manifestation of our secret election and a sure forerunner of glory, being, in effect, the voice of God telling us beforehand that He will glorify us." -brother Wm. Cowper (1731-1800 A.D.)
