Comment pourrions-nous attendre de Dieu qu'il se consume avec autre chose que son propre être parfait et saint ? Pour Dieu, se consumer avec autre chose serait de l'idolâtrie. Ce serait exalter la créature au-dessus du Créateur. Le but de Dieu est de s'exalter et d'exalter sa propre gloire. Il a l'intention de magnifier son grand nom. " Car c'est de Lui, par Lui et pour Lui que viennent toutes choses. A lui la gloire pour toujours" (Rom. 11:36).

How could we expect God to be consumed with anything less than His own perfect, holy being? For God to be consumed with anything else would be idolatrous. It would be exalting the creature above the Creator. God’s goal is to exalt Himself and His own glory. He intends to magnify His great name. “For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be glory forever” (Rom. 11:36).
