III. This infallible assurance does not so belong to the essence of faith, but that a true believer may wait long, and conflict with many difficulties, before he be partaker of it:[10] yet, being enabled by the Spirit to know the things which are freely given him of God, he may, without extraordinary revelation in the right use of ordinary means, attain thereunto.[11] And therefore it is the duty of every one to give all diligence to make his calling and election sure,[12] that thereby his heart may be enlarged in peace and joy in the Holy Ghost, in love and thankfulness to God, and in strength and cheerfulness in the duties of obedience,[13] the proper fruits of this assurance; so far is it from inclining men to looseness.[14]

In His grace,

Does this excerpt imply that all of the elect will be made known that they are elect through a "general revelation"? What I mean is that will all elect hear the reformed ideals and in the end accept them and that is their "revelation" of the fact that they are elect? Or is it just stating that man will want to resist, but God and the Holy Spirit will still work its way and men shall be shown their sinfulness? I am not sure my question makes a whole lot of sense.. I hope it does because in my head it does, but after reading it im not so sure.. I will if need be try to better refine it.
