“God, How Have You Loved Us?”
Response of Faith
Canons of Dort I.10
The cause of this undeserved election is exclusively the good pleasure of God. This… involves adopting certain particular persons from among the common mass of sinners as God’s own possession. As Scripture says, “When the children were not yet born,
and had done nothing either good or bad…, she (Rebecca) was told, ‘The older will serve the younger.’ As it is written, ‘Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated’” (Rom. 9:11-13).
