The God of the Bible is self-defined (cf. Exodus 34:5-8). "To get to the heart of who God is and to bow before him in some small measure of genuine understanding, it's important to think through what the Bible says again and again and integrate the whole with the same balance and proportion that Scripture itself gives. That calls us to worship. And if we put anything else in the place of God, that is the very definition of idolatry." D.A. Carson referenced in The New City Catechism - Devotional. C. Hansen, Editor. (Wheaton. IL. Crossway Publishing, 2017), 22-23.

"The messianic promises of the new covenant have begun in Christ. It is now unthinkable to live as though Christ has not been born, died for our sins and risen to resurrection life. The old covenant pales in comparison with the power of the end of the ages that has dawned in Christ. God's one covenant story holds together in his Son; and the entire drama must be understood in his light. Thus the covenant is newly shaped by the death and resurrection of Jesus. And Jesus is the true glory of the old covenant as well as the new. God's covenant revelation in Moses looked toward Christ; and now that Christ has come, the entire covenant story is redefined in terms of him. Jesus Christ is the new in new covenant." Michael Williams, Far as the Curse is Found: The Covenant Story of Redemption, (Phillipsburg, NJ: P&R Publishing Company, 2005), 239-40.

"The world shouldn't dictate what we anticipate from God. As the West becomes more committed to a secular belief system, it doesn't mean we should expect less from God during our lifetime. He is sovereign, which is why we should believe anything is possible. His Spirit can move when and where He wishes. Whether or not we witness exponential growth in our own culture, we know the end of history will reveal His faithfulness in fulfilling His original promise to Abraham wherein the sons of God will be as populous as the sands of the sea."

Let earth and heaven combine, Angels and men agree, To praise in songs divine The incarnate Deity, Our God contracted to a span, Incomprehensibly made Man. The Hymn by Charles Wesley - "Let Earth and Heaven Combine."

"A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would be either a lunatic - on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg - or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse." C. S. Lewis. Mere Christianity (New York: Macmillan, 1943), 41.
