God is good to all in some ways and to some in all ways.

Wisdom is the power to see, and the inclination to choose, the best and highest goal, together with the surest means of attaining it.

Holy is the Bible word for all that makes God different from us, in particular his awesome power and purity.

God uses chronic pain and weakness, along with other afflictions, as his chisel for sculpting our lives. Felt weakness deepens dependence on Christ for strength each day. The weaker we feel, the harder we lean. And the harder we lean, the stronger we grow spiritually, even while our bodies waste away. To live with your ‘thorn’ uncomplainingly — that is, sweet, patient, and free in heart to love and help others, even though every day you feel weak — is true sanctification. It is true healing for the spirit. It is a supreme victory of grace.

The peace of God is first and foremost peace with God; it is the state of affairs in which God, instead of being against us, is for us. No account of God's peace which does not start here can do other than mislead.

This one word 'grace' contains within itself the whole of New Testament theology.

For what higher, more exalted, and more compelling goal can there be than to know God?
