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，我感谢圣洁、仁慈、美丽的三位一体神，随着我年龄的增长，是祂让我对祂自己越发爱戴。虽然我每天都有几十次没有达到我的目标，但我可以说，我的强烈愿望是为了祂的荣耀而活，而且我相信我们所说的加尔文主义是圣经真理的体系，它使我们藉着神恩典的灵而最大限度地让我们能够那样活。
