“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.”

// KNOWING AND BEING KNOWN

#KnowingGod #JIPacker #Chapter3…

“What makes life worth while is having a big enough objective, something which catches our imagination and lays hold of our allegiance; and this the Christian has, in a way that no other person has. For what higher, more exalted, and more compelling goal can there be than to know God?”

“And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.” – John 17:3 (#ESV)

// PEOPLE WHO KNOW THEIR GOD

#KnowingGod #JIPacker #Chapter2…

“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.”

// THE STUDY OF GOD

“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.”

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. #Selah” (Psalm 46:1-3 #ESV)

#NewMorningMercies:

“Yes, you’re weak, you’re often foolish, and you tend to want your own way, but God’s redeeming grace is greater.” (@PaulDavidTripp)

“For thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I, I myself will search for my sheep and will seek them out. As a shepherd seeks out his flock when he is among his sheep that have been scattered, so will I seek out my sheep, and I will rescue them from all places where they have been scattered on a day of clouds and thick darkness.” (Ezekiel 34:11-12 #ESV)

// HE GAVE EVERYTHING

INSTAGRAM YO

“…we need to remember that the essence of loving is giving and that the degree of love is measured partly by the costliness of the gift to the giver and partly by the worthiness or unworthiness of the recipient. By these standards, God’s love in Christ is absolutely unique. For in sending his Son to die for sinners, he was giving everything, his very self, and giving himself for those who deserved nothing from him except judgment.” (#JohnStott)
