The Glory Of God Is Intelligence

There is so much more to the gospel of Jesus Christ than commonly understood. We learn righteousness by learning more about what God does and why he does it. Although the scriptures show us some of what he did in the past and sometimes describe some of why he did it, obtaining the rest requires personal revelation. Salvation requires you to acquire more light and truth.What did Jesus mean when he said he was "the truth?" (John 14:6) What did he mean when he said he was "the light?" (John 8:12) Light and truth may sound like obscure topics, but they are central to the gospel, and understanding them is critical to your fulfilling your purpose in this life. This book will guide you through God's word to teach you how to learn more about God and how to teach more of what you learn. A better understanding of these topics will greatly accelerate your growth toward God, your discernment of good and evil, and your achievement of the purpose for which you were born.

Humans are hardwired for awe. Our hearts are always captured by something—that’s how God made us. But sin threatens to distract us from the glory of our Creator. All too often, we stand in awe of everything but God. Uncovering the lies we believe about all the earthly things that promise us peace, life, and contentment, Paul Tripp redirects our gaze to God’s awe-inducing glory—showing how such a vision has the potential to impact our every thought, word, and deed.

Scholars from multiple disciplines guide believers through a biblical and theological treatment of the glory of God. This book will greatly benefit readers in their personal studies and ministries. Part of the Theology in Community series.

In these Meditations on the Glory of God, Dr. Fowler stimulates our sanctified imaginations to picture our Savior, the One who shed His blood on Calvary for our sins, in His thronal glory providentially governing, passionately seeking the lost, and programming our future. He helps us visualize in anthropomorphic, splendiferous images the glory of God, and enthusiastically describes the New Jerusalem. He brings to our sanctified imaginations the descriptions of the city and what it will be like to live there. He says, "Imagine how it will be to live for God, continually seeing His face, continually finding new opportunities to serve Him, within the splendorous and multicolored activity of that New Jerusalem.
