Quotes About Exaltation

Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness." PSALM 29 : 2

No other religion has a God who serves His people rather than demanding service of them. This is why for Martin Luther justification was the chief article of the faith.

This ransom frees us from constantly seeking to put ourselves on top. We are free to be last, because Christ exalts us.

This is the most excellent and divine wisdom that any creature is capable of. 'Tis more excellent than any human learning; 'tis far more excellent than all the knowledge of the greatest philosophers or statesmen.

Faith abases men and exalts God, it gives all the glory of redemption to God alone.
