加爾文主義者
一個加爾文主義者，就是一個已經看見神的人，是一個在神的榮耀中看見神的人；一方面認識到自己這個受造者的身份，不配站立在神面前；但另一方面，卻又驚訝神竟然收納罪人；一個凡事絕對信靠神，在一切思想、感情、意志上，在整個生活行動中（理智的、道德的、屬靈的），在遍及個人的、社會的、宗教的所有關係上，都以上帝為他的神的人，就是一個加爾文主義者。
The
Calvinist is the man who has seen God, and who, having seen God in His glory,
is filled on the one hand, with a sense of his own unworthiness to stand in
God’s sight as a creature, and much more as a sinner, and on the other hand,
with adoring wonder that nevertheless this God is a God who receives sinners.
He who believes in God without reserve and is determined that God shall be God
to him, in all his thinking, feeling, willing—in the entire compass of his life
activities, intellectual, moral, spiritual—throughout all his individual,
social, religious relations—is, by the force of that strictest of all logic
which presides over the outworking of principles into thought and life, by the
very necessity of the case, a Calvinist.
