“We are now assuming that we have here the centre and goal of all God's works, and therefore the hidden beginning of them all. We are also assuming that the prominent place occupied by this divine work has something corresponding to it in the essence of God, that the Son forms the centre of the Trinity, and that the essence of the divine being has, so to speak, its locus ... in His work, in the name and person of Jesus Christ.” PersonsFormJesusNamesSpeakGoalChristDivineSonJesus ChristEssenceAssumingCentreTrinityProminentCorresponding Book:Church Dogmatics The Doctrine of God, Volume 2, Part 1: The Knowledge of God; The Reality of God Source: Church Dogmatics The Doctrine of God, Volume 2, Part 1: The Knowledge of God; The Reality of God
“Do we not see God at work in our circumstances? Dark times are allowed and come to us through the sovreignty of God. Are we prepared to let God do what He wants with us? Are we prepared to be separated from the outward, evident blessings of God? Until Jesus Christ is truly our Lord, we each have goals of our own which we serve. Our faith is real, but it is not yet permanent. And God is never in a hurry. If we are willing to wait, we will see God pointing out that we have been interested only in his blessings, instead of God Himself.” IfsWantHas BeensRealFaithJesusWaitingGoalChristReligiousDarkLordWillingCircumstancesBlessingLetting GoJesus ChristPreparedPermanentEvidentPointingOur LordDark TimesWilling To Wait Author:Oswald Chambers
