"The true way to learn God's will is to listen to his Word."

"We shall never be clearly persuaded, as we ought to be, that our salvation flows from the wellspring of God's free mercy until we come to know his eternal election, which illumines God's grace by this…"

"The wicked are justly condemned, because they are not only alien from God, but are also full of all impurity."

"The whole world is a theater of God's glory."

"Wherever we see the Word of God purely preached and heard, and the sacraments administered according to Christ's institution, there, it is not to be doubted, is a church of God."
