From Your General Perspective

Sometimes, a really simple reading of the Scriptures can result in refreshing encounters with particularly helpful biblical phraseology. For instance, here is a little quiz that has some relation to "current events."

Which of the following "seems" most biblical?

A. The Lord preserves the faithful; the Lord redeems the soul of His servants.
B. The Lord saves those who are truly in the true, invisible church.
C. The Lord grants salvation to those who understand faith.
D. The Lord's people are those who embrace Him according to absolutely pure doctrine.

I tried to make this purposefully easy, but in case you are tempted to get out the concordance and search for prooftexts on all of these options, my point is to say, Which of the statements actually reads like Scriptures you have encountered?, and secondarily, Which fits best with your overall perspective?
