"It pleases God by His infinite goodness to enter into a common treaty. He mutually binds Himself to us without having to do so, enumerates that treaty article by article, chooses to be our Father and Savior, receives us as His flock and His inheritance. It is as if God said, 'I set aside my right. I come here to present myself to you as Your Guide and Savior. I want to govern you. You are like my little family. And if you are satisfied with my Word, I will be your King. Besides, the purpose is not to take anything from you, rather I procure your well-being and your salvation.-John Calvin, Sermons on The Ten Commandments
