This leads to some practical conclusions which ought to become teachings:

1. There is no reason to think that those to whom God is gracious have been any more wise than those to whom God has chosen not to be gracious

2. those to whom God has been gracious need not concern themselves with their own weight or their own ability remain attached to Jesus
