Acest minunat paragraf enumer\u0103 elementele care stau la baza convingerii c\u0103 sfin\u0163ii vor persevera \u00een credin\u0163\u0103 p\u00e2n\u0103 la sf\u00e2r\u015fit. \u00cenainte de toate trebuie s\u0103 \u00een\u0163elegem c\u0103 perseveren\u0163a nu depinde de voin\u0163a noastr\u0103 liber\u0103. <\/span>Arminianul consecvent, sus\u0163in\u00e2nd doctrina liberei-voin\u0163e \u015fi a c\u0103derii din har, nu poate fi sigur \u00een via\u0163a aceasta de m\u00e2ntuirea lui etern\u0103. El poate avea siguran\u0163a m\u00e2ntuirii lui prezente, dar \u00een ce prive\u015fte m\u00e2ntuirea lui final\u0103 poate doar n\u0103d\u0103jdui. El poate privi m\u00e2ntuirea final\u0103 ca fiind foarte probabil\u0103, dar nu cert\u0103. I-a v\u0103zut pe mul\u0163i dintre semenii lui cre\u015ftini c\u0103z\u00e2nd \u00een p\u0103cat \u015fi pierind dup\u0103 ce avuseser\u0103 un \u00eenceput bun.

At\u00e2t timp c\u00e2t r\u0103m\u00e2n \u00een aceast\u0103 lume, oamenii p\u0103streaz\u0103 \u00een ei r\u0103m\u0103\u015fi\u0163ele vechii naturi p\u0103c\u0103toase; ei sunt \u00eenconjura\u0163i de cele mai \u00een\u015fel\u0103toare pl\u0103ceri ale lumii \u015fi de cele mai subtile ispite ale diavolului. Dac\u0103 arminianismul ar fi adev\u0103rat, cre\u015ftinii s-ar afla \u00eentr-o pozi\u0163ie foarte periculoas\u0103, destinul lor depinz\u00e2nd de probabilitatea ca slaba \u015fi finita lor voin\u0163\u0103 s\u0103 continue s\u0103 aleag\u0103 binele. De asemenea, concluzia logic\u0103 a arminianismului este c\u0103 siguran\u0163a \u00een sfin\u0163enie nu este posibil\u0103, nici m\u0103car \u00een cer, deoarece \u015fi acolo individul \u00ee\u015fi p\u0103streaz\u0103 voin\u0163a liber\u0103 \u015fi poate comite p\u0103cat atunci c\u00e2nd alege s\u0103 fac\u0103 acest lucru.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Dac\u0103 este s\u0103 facem o compara\u0163ie, arminianul se aseam\u0103n\u0103 cu un om care a mo\u015ftenit o avere de, s\u0103 zicem, o sut\u0103 de mii de dolari. El \u015ftie c\u0103 mul\u0163i al\u0163ii care au mo\u015ftenit asemenea averi le-au pierdut datorit\u0103 unor decizii gre\u015fite, fraudelor, calamit\u0103\u0163ilor etc., dar are suficient\u0103 \u00eencredere \u00een capacitatea proprie de a administra banii cu \u00een\u0163elepciune; astfel nu are nicio \u00eendoial\u0103 c\u0103 el \u00ee\u015fi va p\u0103stra averea. Siguran\u0163a lui este bazat\u0103, \u00een cea mai mare parte, pe o \u00eencredere \u00een sine. Al\u0163ii nu au izbutit, dar el e \u00eencrez\u0103tor c\u0103 va izbuti. Dar ce iluzie este aceasta c\u00e2nd o aplic\u0103m \u00een domeniul spiritual! Ce trist este ca cineva, care \u00ee\u015fi cunoa\u015fte tendin\u0163a de a p\u0103c\u0103tui, s\u0103 aib\u0103 o asemenea baz\u0103 a siguran\u0163ei m\u00e2ntuirii! Sistemul lui pune cauza persever\u0103rii nu \u00een m\u00e2na atotputernicului \u015fi neschimb\u0103torului Dumnezeu, ci \u00een m\u00e2na omului p\u0103c\u0103tos.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nu ne spune logica sistemului arminian c\u0103 lucrul \u00een\u0163elept pentru cre\u015ftin este s\u0103 moar\u0103 c\u00e2t mai cur\u00e2nd posibil \u015fi s\u0103-\u015fi confirme astfel nepre\u0163uita mo\u015ftenire? \u00cen lumina faptului c\u0103 at\u00e2t de mul\u0163i au c\u0103zut, merit\u0103 ca el s\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103 aici \u015fi s\u0103-\u015fi ri\u015fte m\u00e2ntuirea etern\u0103 de dragul vie\u0163ii pe acest p\u0103m\u00e2nt? Ce s-ar crede despre un om de afaceri care, pentru c\u00e2\u0163iva dolari \u00een plus, ar fi dispus s\u0103-\u015fi ri\u015fte toat\u0103 averea \u00eentr-o tranzac\u0163ie nesigur\u0103? De fapt, nu sugereaz\u0103 cel pu\u0163in c\u0103 Domnul a f\u0103cut multe gre\u015feli prin faptul c\u0103 nu i-a luat pe ai S\u0103i de pe p\u0103m\u00e2nt pe c\u00e2nd erau \u00eenc\u0103 cre\u015ftini adev\u0103ra\u0163i?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00cen ce prive\u015fte lucrurile spirituale, \u00eendoiala \u00eenseamn\u0103 nenorocire. Siguran\u0163a c\u0103 cre\u015ftinii nu pot fi desp\u0103r\u0163i\u0163i niciodat\u0103 de dragostea lui Dumnezeu este una dintre cele mai mari binecuv\u00e2nt\u0103ri ale vie\u0163ii de credin\u0163\u0103. A nega aceast\u0103 doctrin\u0103 \u00eenseamn\u0103 a distruge temelia bucuriei sfin\u0163ilor de pe p\u0103m\u00e2nt; c\u0103ci ce bucurie pot avea cei ce cred c\u0103 pot fi \u00een\u015fela\u0163i \u015fi condu\u015fi \u00een r\u0103t\u0103cire \u00een orice moment? Dac\u0103 sentimentul nostru de siguran\u0163\u0103 se bazeaz\u0103 numai pe natura noastr\u0103 schimb\u0103toare, nu vom cunoa\u015fte niciodat\u0103 lini\u015ftea \u015fi pacea care ar trebui s\u0103-l caracterizeze pe cre\u015ftin. <\/span><\/p>\n
