Grace does not merely invite; it transforms. Philippians 2:12–13 calls us to work out our salvation not in fear of losing it, but in confidence that God Himself is working within us. Obedience flows from new affections shaped by regeneration—our action is real, yet wholly powered by divine grace.

More Gracious Than We Can Imagine (Romans 9:6-13; COD Head 1 Articles 7, 15)
The Canons of Dort present election as a deeply loving act of God. Election is rooted in His mercy, not our merit, ensuring that His people will enter His rest despite sin and rebellion. Romans 9 reminds us that salvation is grounded in God’s sovereign will, not human effort. This doctrine offers profound comfort: the elect care about Christ because the Spirit is at work in them, and God’s mercy guarantees their salvation.
