NOT A LEGAL SANCTIFICATION.

 This sanctification of the believers must then be properly understood.

It must not become a legal sanctification [by the terrors of Law] but is and must remain an evangelical sanctification [by the comforts of the Gospel]. —Herman Bavinck, Wonderful Works of God, Pg. 461

SHEER GOOD

"The Gospel is sheer good tidings, not demand but promise, not duty but gift."

Herman Bavinck

God Predestined

God predestined the fall, and though, as Supreme Ruler, he executes his plan even by means of sin; nevertheless, he remains holy and righteous; of his own accord man falls and sins: the guilt is his alone. “Man falls according to the appointment of divine providence, but he falls by his own fault.”

-Herman Blavinck
