“God, our Maker, knows all about us before we say anything (Ps 139:1-4); but we can know nothing about him unless he tells us.”
― J.I. Packer, Knowing God

“In the New Testament, grace means God's love in action toward people who merited the opposite of love. Grace means God moving heaven and earth to save sinners who could not lift a finger to save themselves. Grace means God sending his only Son to the cross to descend into hell so that we guilty ones might be reconciled to God and received into heaven.”
― J.I. Packer, Knowing God

“God as a helpless baby, he could only lie, stare, wriggle, make noises. The more you think about it, the more staggering it gets!”
― J.I. Packer

“We change our behavior when the pain of staying the same becomes greater than the pain of changing.”
