Love it

Well, it's time to answer Simon's question...How do I find this book?Very good. J. Owen explains in a very clear and concise way what the Glory of Christ means. I’m sure I wouldn't have been able to put it into words like J. Owen does so well apart from that God should be glorified in and through us, only He is worthy of all praise and honour and the more we see Him, the more we love Him and the more it changes us. I particularly liked the preface (the last 2 chapters written by Owen and later added to future editions), there's so much in it. On page 2 it says: 'We cannot stop wondering that our nature is capable of sharing the glorious life of God'. Let us think about that! Our nature that's so sinful , frail, subject to change and failing yet...God choose to reveal Himself to us and uses us, not because he needs us of course just because he wants to and will be glorified through these simple vessels, we are but dust( see Ps.103: 14-18). Glorious grace that is. On page 4 Owen quotes 2 Tim 1:12 and talks about our giving our souls up to God's disposal, in faith. It made me ponder on this scripture and how Paul really knew whom he believed and what confidence he had in his God. Do we? Do I? Paul went through so much yet his confidence in God wasn't knocked and fully assured of Him to keep that which he committed to Him.
Well there's so much more I love to share and am half way through the book now so leave room for others to respond too. God bless. Cynthia.
