• Principle 2 For God has consigned all men to disobedience so that He may have mercy on them all. Romans 11:32

• Principle 3 No man can boast (Ep 2:9), for it is not dependent on man's effort or desire, but on God's Mercy! Romans 9:16

• Principle 6 He canceled all charges held against us, nailing them to the Cross. Colossians 2:14
