Grace Quotes

Don Fortner The god of this apostate generation no more resembles the God of the Bible than a gnat resembles an angel. The puny, pygmy, frustrated god of our day, is an idol carved from the trees which grow wild in the dark forests of their depraved minds. The God of the Bible is infinitely and indescribably above the gods of man's imagination. The gods of Arminian, freewill, works religion cannot even be compared to the TRUE GOD (Isa. 46:9-11). That God who truly is God has distinct attributes which set him apart from all the gods of men, four distinct attributes which specifically set him apart from the imaginary god of this apostate generation-- SOVEREIGNTY -Our God truly is God. He rules all things, everywhere, at all times absolutely. A god who wants or desires, or wills what he does not have, or what does not come to pass is no God at all (Isa. 45:7; 46:9-11; Psa. 115:3; 135:6). HOLINESS - "Holy and reverend is his name." When Isaiah saw the LORD in his holiness, sitting upon his throne, high and lifted up, when he heard the seraphim cry, "Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory," he fell on his face and confessed his sin before the thrice holy God (Isa. 6:1-8). JUSTICE - The God of the Bible is, unlike all the gods of men, just and true. He always deals with all his creatures upon the basis of strict justice. He will by no means clear the guilty (Ex. 34:7). Yet, this great sovereign, holy, and just God is infinitely and indescribably gracious. GRACIOUS - He says, "I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious." He found a way to deliver his chosen from going down to the pit (Job 33:24). That way is the satisfaction of justice by the substitutionary sacrifice of his own dear Son (Isa. 53:4-6, 8, 9-11; 2 Cor. 5:21).
