We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

[How] justification and sanctification…differ... (a) Justification is the reckoning and counting a man to be righteous for the sake of another, even Jesus Christ the Lord. Sanctification is the actual making a man inwardly righteous, though it may be in a very feeble degree. (b) The righteousness we have by our justification is not our own, but the everlasting perfect righteousness of our great Mediator Christ, imputed to us, and made our own by faith. The righteousness we have by sanctification is our own righteousness, imparted, inherent, and wrought in us by the Holy Spirit, but mingled with much infirmity and imperfection. (c) In justification our own works have no place at all, and simple faith in Christ is the one thing needful. In sanctification our own works are of vast importance and God bids us fight, and watch, and pray, and strive, and take pains, and labor. (d) Justification is a finished and complete work, and a man is perfectly justified the moment he believes. Sanctification is an imperfect work, comparatively, and will never be perfected until we reach heaven. (e) Justification admits of no growth or increase: a man is as much justified the hour he first comes to Christ by faith as he will be to all eternity. Sanctification is eminently a progressive work, and admits of continual growth and enlargement so long as a man lives. (f) Justification has special reference to our persons, our standing in God’s sight, and our deliverance from guilt. Sanctification has special reference to our natures, and the moral renewal of our hearts. (g) Justification gives us our title to heaven, and boldness to enter in. Sanctification gives us our meetness for heaven, and prepares us to enjoy it when we dwell there. (h) Justification is the act of God about us, and is not easily discerned by others. Sanctification is the work of God within us, and cannot be hid in its outward manifestation from the eyes of men.
J.C. Ryle

The Son of God, had He never become incarnate, might have pitied, but He could not have sympathized with His people. To render Him capable of sympathy, it was necessary that He should become man that He might be susceptible of suffering, and that He should actually be a sufferer that He might be susceptible of sympathy.
John Brown

Bible – chinese – 新标点和合本 诗篇 99

99
 神是至高之王
耶和华作王;万民当战抖!
他坐在二基路伯上,地当动摇。
耶和华在锡安为大;
他超乎万民之上。
他们当称赞他大而可畏的名;
他本为圣!
王有能力,喜爱公平,坚立公正,
雅各中施行公平和公义。
你们当尊崇耶和华—我们的 神,
在他脚凳前下拜。
他本为圣!
 
在他的祭司中有摩西亚伦
在求告他名的人中有撒母耳
他们求告耶和华,他就应允他们。
他在云柱中对他们说话;
他们遵守他的法度和他所赐给他们的律例。
 
耶和华—我们的 神啊,你应允他们;
你是赦免他们的 神,
却按他们所行的报应他们。
你们要尊崇耶和华—我们的 神,
在他的圣山下拜,
因为耶和华—我们的 神本为圣!
