Q. 5. To what purpose is it to strive in the use of means, except we knew we were elected?

:1995p. 160

A. The knowledge of our Election is not antecedent to our diligence, but our diligence is required antecedently to that knowledge, 2 Pet. 1.10. Wherefore the rather, Brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure, &c.

Q. 6. Is it not legal to put Natural Men upon striving in the use of means.?

:1997p. 160

A. No, it is not; for Christ himself enjoins it, Luke 13▪24. Strive to enter in at the strait gate, &c. And so did the Apostles after him, Acts 8.22. Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee.
