“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God.” (Romans 8:18-19 #ESV)

Loved being with the #CityonaHillWest family this morning preaching on 2 Samuel 11-12. Sin is destructive and displeases God, but God’s grace is greater than our sin.
“David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the LORD.” And Nathan said to David, “The LORD also has put away your sin; you shall not die.” (2 Samuel 12:13 #ESV)
“Although my memory’s fading, I remember two things very clearly: I am a great sinner and Christ is a great Savior.” (#JohnNewton)

#KnowingGod #Chapter8:
“To whom then will you compare me, that I should be like him? says the Holy One.” (Isaiah 40:25 #ESV)
#JIPacker: “This question rebukes wrong thoughts about God. ‘Your thoughts of God are too human,’ said Luther to Erasmus. This is where most of us go astray. Our thoughts of God are not great enough; we fail to reckon with the reality of his limitless wisdom and power. Because we ourselves are limited and weak, we imagine that at some points God is too, and find it hard to believe that he is not. We think of God as too much like what we are. Put this mistake right, says God; learn to acknowledge the full majesty of your incomparable God and Saviour.”

“Growing in the gospel does not mean we come to need it less, but that we realise our need for it even more.”
“The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost.” (1 Timothy 1:15 #ESV)

#KnowingGod #JIPacker #Chapter7:
“God does not change…
1. God’s life does not change…
2. God’s character does not change…
3. God’s truth does not change…
4. God’s ways do not change…
5. God’s purposes do not change…
6. God’s Son does not change. Jesus Christ is ‘the same yesterday and today and for ever’ (Heb. 13: 8), and his touch has still its ancient power. It still remains true that ‘he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them’ (Heb. 7: 25). He never changes. This fact is the strong consolation of all God’s people.”

“But is the work of the Holy Spirit really important? Important! Why, were it not for the work of the Holy Spirit there would be no gospel, no faith, no church, no Christianity in the world at all.”

“‘The Word became flesh’ (John 1: 14); God became man; the divine Son became a Jew; the Almighty appeared on earth as a helpless human baby, unable to do more than lie and stare and wriggle and make noises, needing to be fed and changed and taught to talk like any other child. And there was no illusion or deception in this: the babyhood of the Son of God was a reality. The more you think about it, the more staggering it gets. Nothing in fiction is so fantastic as is this truth of the incarnation.”
