When God becomes our treasure, we treat our adversaries out of our own fullness with the all-satisfying glory of God.

You have heard echoes of God’s glory everywhere; tune your heart to the original music. The best place to get your heart tuned is at the cross of Jesus Christ.

God is pursuing with omnipotent delight a worldwide purpose of gathering a people for his name from every tribe and language and nation.

This is the essence of what it means to love God: to be satisfied in him — not just his gifts, but God himself, as the glorious person that he is.

Faith overcomes our inborn hostility to God and his will, and frees us to keep his commandments.

God will gladly receive anything from us that shows our dependence and his all-sufficiency. Therefore, we can gladly cast all our anxieties on him.

The only joy that reflects the worth of God and overflows in God-glorifying love is rooted in true knowledge of God.

Joy comes from the Holy Spirit, not our own efforts or imagination or family upbringing. Therefore, the call to joy is a call to earnest prayer.

Gratitude looks back to past grace received and feels thankful. Faith looks forward to future grace promised and feels hopeful.

Praying for forgiveness should be based not only on an appeal to God’s mercy, but also on an appeal to his justice in crediting the worth of his Son’s obedience.
