Top Highlights
“Today, when many of the leaders of government, religion, and science refuse to give glory to God, God still receives praise from the lips of his children.” (Page 64)
“These verses set forth three characteristics of the godly: they resist sin, they love God’s Word, and they produce the fruits of faith.” (Pages 40–41)
“Genuine repentance produces an intention to avoid sin and to serve God more faithfully.” (Page 215)
“The final verse of this section illustrates the value of the Word by comparing it to gold and to honey. Gold can buy things that sustain and enrich earthly life. The Word of God has the power to offer and deliver the gift of eternal life. The sweetness of honey gives pleasure, as those of us who have a ‘sweet tooth’ know all too well. However, the pleasure it gives is nothing compared to the sweetness of forgiveness and peace with God.” (Page 100)
“Christ’s being ‘begotten by the Father’ refers to an eternal, unchanging relationship that exists between the first and second persons of the Trinity.” (Page 48)
