The simple statement, 'God is for us', is in truth one of the richest and weightiest utterances that the Bible contains.
J. I. PackerI must ask the Lord to direct the Holy Spirit within me to drain the life out of sin and in prayer.
J. I. PackerThe modern way with God is to set him at a distance, if not to deny him altogether; and the irony is that modern Christians, preoccupied with maintaining religious practices in an irreligous world, have themselves allowed God to become remote...for churchmen who look at God through the wrong end of the telescope, so reducing him to pigmy proportions, cannot hope to end up as more than pigmy Christians.
