Top Highlights
“The ultimate aim of the book is to help us all become more like the people God intends us to be, as we make our own ‘his very great and precious promises’ (2 Peter 1:4).” (Page 8)
“Dealing with sin is always God’s first step in bringing change to people’s lives.” (Page 11)
“God knows that laying down rules for us will not get us to walk in his covenant; only a miraculous change of our heart can do that. So that is just what God does! He changes the hearts of those who belong to him so we find that in our inmost being we now want to walk with him and keep his law.” (Page 25)
“There are almost 150 different Hebrew and Greek words used for ‘God’ in the Bible. That in itself tells us how wonderful he is and how difficult it is to describe him!” (Page 41)
“So, what about us? How great is God in our thinking? If he is not great in our thinking, he will never be great in our living!” (Page 13)
