Walk in Wisdom - Gleanings from the Scripture

sunrise.jpg

John 3.16 - For God so loved the world, that he gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

God’s goal in all He does, is His glory.
God’s greatest glory, is simply the revelation of Himself.
Who and what He is, especially as revealed in Jesus Christ.
But we must not confuse His goal, with His motive.
While His goal is to make Himself known, the reason WHY He desires this end, His motive - is love.
Revealing Himself, is the highest and most loving thing He can do.

What a God He is.
