paradoxum

Thomas Watson has long been one of my favorite authors. I'll never forget reading his The Ten Commandments when I was in the tenth grade. It took me all year to read it. I still have that book, and treasure it. This quote is taken from his work, A Body of Divinity:

"The glory we give God is nothing else but our lifting up his name in the world, and magnifying him in the eyes of others."

If you love the Gospel, I expect you'll love this quote as well.

HT: Of First Importance

“Observe, that the design of the gospel is this- that the image of God, which had been effaced by sin, may be stamped anew upon us, and that the advancement of this restoration may be continually going forward in us during our whole life, because God makes his glory shine forth in us by little and little.”
