God does not love us because we are so valuable; we are valuable because God loves us."12

To glorify God is not just to do so in religious worship, singing praise and enacting the traditional rites of the church. To glorify God is to reveal his character by being who we were created to be-the embodiment of the image of God in human form.

Theism, however, teaches that not only is there a moral universe but there is an absolute standard by which all moral judgments are measured. God himself-his character of goodness (holiness and love)-is the standard.

But nothing external to God can possibly constrain him. If he chooses to restore a broken universe, it is because he "wants" to, because, for example, he loves it and wants the best for it. But he is free to do as he wills, and his character (Who He Is) controls his will.

There is another limitation in many arguments Christians use to prove the rationality of belief in God.

Truly, deep and profound words do not make a person holy and upright, but a good life is what makes us dear to God. I would rather experience sorrow for my ungodly thoughts and actions than simply be skillful in defining "repentance.

what does all this benefit us without the love and grace of God? It is completely futile unless we love God and serve only him.

O, heart! How long will you search for perfection in schools? How long will you try to perfect philosophy, geometry and all its rules? Every thought which is no remembrance of God is an evil inspiration, Be modest before God! How long these evil thoughts? (Leave them to fools!)

De fleste af os har drømme, men lægger dem til side som umulige. Men Gud lægger aldrig et ønske i vort hjerte eller giver os tegn til at gå ud på vandet, med mindre han ønsker, at vi skal gå ud i tro og i det mindste gøre forsøget.

Der er en fordel ved at være en minoritet, som regnes blandt de forfulgte: for i den stilling må du stole på Gud som din kilde. Som Havner engang sarkastisk bemærkede, er det først, når kristendommen bevæger sig fra forfølgelse til popularitet, at kraften forsvinder.

The habit of trusting God - could there be such a thing? Could such a habit be a lifeline when tribulations swept over you?
