“5. God shows His Love by the Sacrifice He has made for us.—Sacrifice; after all that is the great test of love.” (Pages 24–25)

“3. God shows His love for us by sympathizing with us.—Isaiah 63:9: ‘In all their affliction He was afflicted.’” (Page 23)

“There is a God. Therefore the man who says that there is no God is a fool; for any man who denies a fact is a fool. He who denies the supreme fact is a supreme fool. Not only is there a God; but He is the supreme fact of nature, of history, of science, of philosophy, of personal life. Look at the first four words of the Bible, and you will read the profoundest philosophy. ‘In the beginning, God.’ In the beginning of nature, God; in the beginning of science, God; in the beginning of human history, God; in the beginning of individual experience, God; in the beginning of everything, God. That is the supreme fact; and he who denies it merely because he does not want to believe it is the supreme fool.” (Page 11)

“‘The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.’ Please note where he says it—‘in his heart.’ That is, he says there is no God simply because he does not wish to believe that there is a God. Now, there is a God, and a man that denies a fact simply because he does not wish to believe it is a fool.” (Page 6)

“God is holy. Take the supreme expression of it in 1 John 1:5, ‘God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.’” (Page 13)
