GOD: Coming Face to Face with His Majesty

Top Highlights

“ Freud had it wrong: People do not wish to invent the true God; instead, they wish to deny His existence.” (Pages 14–15)

“Scripture promises that you will find God ‘if you search for Him with all your heart and all your soul’ (Deut. 4:29). Learn to say with the Apostle Paul, ‘My determined purpose is that I may know Him—that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His person more strongly and more clearly’ (Phil. 3:10, amp).” (Page 11)

“The Lord was saying, ‘Job, you don’t know anything except what you know by faith. You weren’t around. You don’t have any answers except the answers I give you—and you either believe them or you don’t.’ Having faith is believing what God says to be true. The content of the Christian faith is God’s revealed Word.” (Page 15)

“Knowing what God is like is foundational to knowing God Himself. And knowing God is the essence of being a Christian.” (Page 10)

“We call those descriptions anthropomorphisms. The word is derived from two Greek words: anthrōpos (man) and morphē (form). God refers to Himself in human form, not because He is material, but to accommodate our finite understanding.” (Page 17)
