| "We thank you, almighty god, for the gift of water. Over it the Holy Spirit moved in the beginning of creation.

| "The true god is the unknown god to the natural man and also the unknowable god without His revelation in Christ. god is not only invisible to man's sight , but also to man's senses. In Christ is found a god who is near, who hears, who cares, who loves, and who saves. 'For god, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of god in the face of Jesus Christ' (2 Cor. 46) 'All things are delievered unto me of my Father and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father neither knoweth any man the Father, save the son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him' (Matt. 1127)." »Eugene Reuweler |
| "We were lost and dead in sin. We were by nature objects of god's wrath. But god Loved us That Love caused Him to do something about our situation. god is rich in mercy, so He made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions. god acted on His Love for us and saved us by His Grace Grace is the result of the actions of His Love. The remarkable thing about His Grace is that He didn't ask us to do anything but believe Him. god didn't ask us to perform some great deed. He didn't demand obedience from us before He would save us. god made us alive with Christ 'even when we were dead in transgressions and sins.' god is showing the universe 'the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.' (Ephesians 27) god was Kind to us 'in' Christ because He Loved us." »Mark McGee |
| "Creation and redemption are the spheres in which these glories are displayed. In creation we see the eternal power and deity that belong to god alone (Rom. 120) while a deeper and richer glory is unfolded in the wondrous cross of the Lord Jesus Christ. There god is fully revealed, not only in terms of His dominion and deity, but in His holiness, love, and grace. At the Cross I learn what creation could never tell me--who god is and what He is to me, a guilty sinner. god is love therefore, He is both light and life. A Savior-god What marvelous grace and glory." »William Hallman |

| "Americans expect to eat and stay thin, to be constantly on the move and ever more neighborly...to revere god and be god." »Daniel J. Boorstin |
| "As a sinner I could not please god, I could not neutralize or pay for my own sin. But when god justified me by His grace He went on record declaring me righteous. He didn't wave a magic wand and declare me to be innocent. His holiness would not permit it. A basis for declaring me righteous was needed. The ground upon which my justification is built is the substitutionary death of His son, Jesus Christ. The shedding of blood demonstrates the righteousness of god 'that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus' (Rom. 326 NKJV). What a marvelous plan Man's plan of salvation by good works is offensive to god and to anyone who has been saved by god's grace." »Larry Riemersma |

| "Most of us have been taught about the need to appropriate by faith what is already ours through grace. We all desire to have more joy in our Christian life. The keys to experiencing joy are available to all of us. We need to understand the gospel of the grace of god as revealed to the Apostle Paul. Then as we put Paul's instructions into practice, we will come to know god experientially. This will cause us to know Him better which will cause us to want to obey more, and on and on it goes. Then as we learn and obey god and become focused on spiritual things instead of earthly things, we will become thankful for everything that god has provided for us in Christ. Knowledge, obedience, and thankfulness will then lead to abundant joy in our everyday life In the words of the old hymn Trust and obey, For there's no other way, To be happy in Jesus, But to trust and obey." »David Havard |
| "Nobody talks so constantly about god as those who insist that there is no god." »Heywood Broun |
