Top Highlights

“The sin of humanity suppresses the will of God; sin keeps the world from working as God originally intended it to. Yes” (Page 34)

“The sin of people prevents the world from being better than it could otherwise be.” (Page 34)

“‘Hope’ in the biblical sense does not have the element of wishful thinking that we give it in English. A child might say, ‘I hope I get a red bicycle for Christmas,’ and he might find it next to the tree—or he might not. The word used by Paul is a noun meaning ‘an assured expectation’ (elpis [1680]). When someone purchases a ticket to a concert, she has in her hand the hope—the assured expectation—of a seat on the given day. Paul used this term in a very specific way to describe the future day when Jesus returns to rule the world and renovate it to His liking.” (Page 117)

“The Greek verb translated ‘prepared’ can be translated ‘vessels of wrath fitted by themselves for destruction’ (italics mine).^[49] Although God has the right to mold clay into anything He chooses, He allowed Pharaoh to choose his own shape; the Lord merely hardened him. And, out of grace, He did it gradually instead of immediately.” (Page 216)

“Ungodliness and unrighteousness,’ then, represent not only a violation of certain rules of conduct but an utter rejection of God Himself—His deity, His authority, His very nature.” (Page 34)
