Top Highlights

“There is no better summary of ‘the glory of God alone’ than Paul’s statement in Romans 11:36: ‘For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.’” (Page 9)

“The first of these words, ‘from,’ indicates that God is the source of all things” (Page 10)

“To state it succinctly, God is only pleased with that which is in perfect agreement with his perfections” (Page 26)

“Using a text such as Revelation 1:8 (‘I am the Alpha and the Omega’), Edwards argued that since Christ is the beginning and end of all things, the end is therefore the same as the beginning with God. Since we know that when the end of creation comes all will give themselves to the praise and adoration of God, it must be for the praise of God that the world was created.” (Page 19)

“Have you, O God, seen yourself in what I said, thought, and did today? Did I care for others the way you would have” (Page 40)
