#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.”

#KnowingGod #JIPacker #Chapter5…

“‘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.”

“God did not show them a visible symbol of himself, but spoke to them; therefore they are not now to seek visible symbols of God, but simply to obey his word.”

“One can know a great deal about God without much knowledge of him… One can know a great deal about godliness without much knowledge of God.” “Do we desire such knowledge of God? […] First, we must recognise how much we lack knowledge of God. We must learn to measure ourselves, not by our knowledge about God, not by our gifts and responsibilities in the church, but by how we pray and what goes on in our hearts. […] Second, we must seek the Saviour. When he was on earth, he invited men to company with him; thus they came to know him, and in knowing him to know his Father.”

“Disregard the study of God, and you sentence yourself to stumble and blunder through life blindfold, as it were, with no sense of direction and no understanding of what surrounds you. This way you can waste your life and lose your soul.”
