We Love God!

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

Sanctification is that inward spiritual work which the Lord Jesus Christ works in a man by the Holy Ghost, when He calls him to be a true believer. He not only washes him from his sins in His own blood, but He also separates him from his natural love of sin and the world, puts a new principle in his heart, and makes him practically godly in life. The instrument by which the Spirit effects this work is generally the Word of God, though He sometimes uses afflictions and providential visitations “without the Word” (1 Peter 3:1). The subject of this work of Christ by His Spirit is called in Scripture a “sanctified” man.

Theological ignorance won’t take us very far, at least not in the right direction. Excitement uninformed by truth invariably leads either to idolatry or fanaticism. If we don’t know the God we enjoy, we may end up enjoying the wrong god!

    Песнь восхождения. Давида.
    1 Господи! не надмевалось сердце мое и не возносились очи мои, и я не входил в великое и для меня недосягаемое.
    2 Не смирял ли я и не успокаивал ли души моей, как дитяти, отнятого от груди матери? душа моя была во мне, как дитя, отнятое от груди.
    3 Да уповает Израиль на Господа отныне и вовек.
