1. Douglas Wilson, “Reformed” is Not Enough, Canon Press, 2002, loc 1679, Kindle Edition. The quote in its full context is: “Chori Seraiah notes the importance of this in questions of apostasy. ‘This does not mean that God is surprised by our actions; by no means. It means that this is how we see things played out in the providential fulfilling of the decrees of God. The means by which men apostatize from the covenant is unfaithfulness. The means by which men persevere in the covenant is faithfulness.’ In other words, to assert that men fall away because their salvation was contingent upon continued faithfulness in the gospel is not to deny the sovereignty of God at all.” ↩
