ILuminosity of True Christianity ~ Part One
ILuminosity of True Christianity
Thoughts to ponder for Part One
"Man's historical existence has been shewn to involve him in a bondage
from which he cannot escape by his own efforts. His existence is in
contradiction with his true destiny, which is a life lived in the love and
fellowship of God. By his original decision, man sets himself over against God
and opens up an abyss between his own sinful state and the divine holiness. He
centers his life in himself or loses himself in the forces of nature. His pride
becomes demonic or sensuality holds him in its grip." ~ Eric C. Rust
“We Christians cannot talk about loving God until we come to grips with
our own raging passion for ourselves. We can not and will not love anyone
but ourselves until we meet God in a way that stirs us to race after Him with
single-minded intensity, until our deepest desire is to get to know Him
better.”
“And that’s our problem. In a culture so thoroughly devoted to life now,
and in a church drenched with teaching on self-improvement and building
happier lives, we can’t easily develop a passion for something other than our
immediate satisfaction. The historic church, in its role as embassy of a
foreign kingdom, taught that the chief end of people is to glorify God and
enjoy Him forever; the modern church too often teaches that the chief end of
God is to gratify people.”
“We must return to our earlier understanding that personal fulfillment
is not the highest value, that the well-being of any individual matters
less than the glory of God, and that we will find ourselves only when we look
for God first.” ~ Dr. Larry Crabb
