It is not the part of modesty either to enquire into the absolute number of the redeemed, or what proportion they shall bear to the whole of the human race. These are things which the day shall declare. Meanwhile it cannot but be matter of joy to all who love the Lord, to think that the ransomed from among the sons of men shall be innumerable as the sand of the sea. And that Messiah seeing his seed, the travail of his soul, shall be satisfied to eternity; and never once shall say, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought.
Thomas Bell — The Late Rev. Thomas Bell, Minister of the Gospel, Glasgow, A View of the Covenants of Works and Grace; and a Treatise on the Nature and Effects of Saving Faith (Glasgow: Printed by Edward Khull & Co., 1814), p. 73
