Thomas Boston on God's Decrees

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , | Posted On Friday, November 15, 2013 at 7:38 AM

"I come to consider the end of God's decrees.  And this is no other than His own glory.  Every rational agent acts for an end; and God being the most perfect agent, and His glory the highest end, there can be no doubt but all His decrees are directed to that end. "For to Him are all things" (Rom. 11.36)."
