[The solution lies] in a complete realization of what we
mean by asserting that God is Almighty. The two ideas of Free-
will and Divine Sovereignty can not be reconciled in our own
minds, but that does not prevent them from being reconcilable
in God's mind. We measure Him by our own intellectual standard
if we think otherwise. And so our solution of the problem of
Free-will and of the problems of history and of individual
salvation, must finally lie in the full acceptance and
realization of what is implied by the infinity and the
omniscience of God.-William Sanday (1843-1920) & Arthur C. Headlam (1862-1947), A Critical and Exegetical Commentary on the
Epistle to the Romans, Edinburgh: T. & T. Clark,1896, 10th ed., New York: Scribners, 1905, p. 350

If we do not have some knowledge by faith of the glory of Christ here and now, it means that we have no real desire for His presence in heaven.-John Owen, Meditation on the Glory of Christ, 1684, ch. 7.
