We Love God!

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

The divine essence is not divided among the three persons, but is wholly with all its perfection in each one of the persons so that they have a numerical unity of essence.
Louis Berkhof

It is important that we have a firm understanding of what it means to please God. To state it succinctly, God is only pleased with that which is in perfect agreement with His perfections. God is only glorified in Himself either in beholding His innate triune perfections within His own being or observing Himself through His creation. Truly pleasing God from the creature’s perspective means being like God in moral and spiritual qualities.
John Hannah

    At the climax of the saga of Joseph and his brothers, the moment comes when he can no longer restrain himself. Weeping aloud, Joseph banishes his Egyptian attendants, and faces his estranged brothers. Speaking for the first time in their Hebrew language, he makes this breathless declaration:

    “I am Joseph. Does my father still live?” Read more of this post
