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. PackerGod made us thinking beings, and he guides our minds as we think things out in his presence.
J. I. PackerIf our theology does not quicken the conscience and soften the heart, it actually hardens both.
J. I. PackerWherever Christianity has produced what historians call a 'popular piety' claiming to be part of the national heritage, anti-Christian reaction among the intelligentsia has followed.
J. I. PackerThe Christian's instincts of trust and worship are stimulated very powerfully by knowledge of the greatness of God. But this is knowledge which Christians today largely lack: and that is one reason why our faith is so feeble and our worship so flabby... When a person in the church, let alone the person in the street, uses the word God, the thought is rarely of divine majesty.
J. I. Packer
