Most of all, I am grateful to the holy, gracious, beautiful triune God, who makes Himself increasingly lovable to me the older I grow. Though I fall short of my goal dozens of times every day, I can say that my consuming desire is to live to His glory, and I believe what we call Calvinism is the system of biblical truth that best enables us to do that by the gracious Spirit of God.^[1]

最重要的是，我感謝聖潔、仁慈、美麗的三位一體神，隨着我年齡的增長，是祂讓我對祂自己越發愛戴。雖然我每天都有幾十次沒有達到我的目標，但我可以說，我的強烈願望是為了祂的榮耀而活，而且我相信我們所說的加爾文主義是聖經真理的體系，它使我們藉着神恩典的靈而最大限度地讓我們能夠那樣活。
