Why the Gospel Is Sent to Some and Not to Others
Under the old dispensation God revealed this mystery of his will to few. Under the new dispensation, however, he took the distinction between the peoples away and revealed it to a larger number. (1) The cause of this very distribution of the gospel is not to be ascribed to the worthiness of one people above another, nor to the better use of the light of nature, but to the sovereign good pleasure and undeserved love of God. (2) Therefore we to whom so great a grace is granted, beyond and contrary to all we deserve, ought to acknowledge it with a humble and grateful heart. (3) But as regards others to whom this grace is not given, we ought with the apostle to adore the severity and righteousness of the judgments of God (4) but by no means inquisitively to pry into them.
