Quotes about God

Actually, the Christian life is the Spirit of God living in the believer.

My friend, after you have been saved, God is going to talk to you about good works.

He doesn't want any of that. He wants to save you.

It is not that they looked in the ark and saw something that they should not have seen. That is not the point. The ark was a box. That is all it ever was.

Their rebellion and blasphemy are revealed in their disobedience. Because of this, God brings judgment upon them.

Those who confine God's love exclusively to the elect appear to me to take a narrow and contracted view of God's character and attributes....I have long come to the conclusion that men may be more systematic in their statements than the Bible, and may be led into grave error by idolatrous veneration of a system.

how true it is that the rulers of this world are seldom friendly to the cause of God.

A deep sense of sin, a humble willingness to be saved in God's way, a teachable readiness to give up our own prejudices when a more excellent way is shown, these are the principal things. These things the two disciples possessed, and therefore our Lord "went with them" and guided them into all truth.

Pride cast Adam out of paradise. He was not content with the place God assigned him. He tried to raise himself, and fell. Thus sin, sorrow and death entered into this world by pride.
