We think of God as too much like what we are. Learn to acknowledge the full majesty of your incomparable God and Savior.
J. I. PackerDo I as a Christian understand myself? Do I know my own real identity? My own real destiny? I am a child of God, God is my Father; heaven is my home; every day is one day nearer. My Saviour is my brother; every Christian is my brother too. Say it over and over again to yourself first thing in the morning, last thing at night, as you wait for the bus, any time when your mind is free, and ask God that you may be enabled to live as one who knows it is all utterly and completely true. For this is the Christians secret of the Christian life, of a God-honouring life.
J. I. PackerWe complain today that ministers do not know how to preach; but is it not equally true that our congregations do not know how to hear?
