| Calvin and Hodge on election by foresight
Starting to preach through Ephesians (and 1:4 in particular), I came across a couple of quotes I liked a lot:
Calvin: We are all lost in Adam, and therefore, had not God rescued us from perishing, by His own election, there was nothing to be foreseen.
Hodge, C.: If men are chosen to be holy, they cannot be chosen because they are holy [foreseen to be such].
