God wants to speak to you about your life and help bring context to what he is doing in you. if you can interpret God for yourself and hear God about your circumstances, then you can easily give out of the outflow of that to others. So many people get this backward and think that they can't hear God for themselves.

Revelation comes from God for the purpose of helping man to live in harmony with God’s will, whereas religion is man’s attempt to order his path and to explain the world around him. The godly in every age live in accordance with revelation.

John Owen, Meditation on the Glory of Christ, 1684, ch. 7.
If we do not have some knowledge by faith of the glory of Christ here and now, it means that we have no real desire for His presence in heaven.

Come, and however feeble you feel, just wait in His presence. As a feeble, sickly invalid is brought out into the sunshine to let its warmth go through him, come with all that is dark and cold in you into the sunshine of God’s holy, omnipotent love, and sit and wait there, with the one thought: Here I am, in the sunshine of His love. As the sun does its work in the weak one who seeks its rays, God will do His work in you. Oh, do trust Him fully. “Wait on the Lord! Be strong, and let your heart take courage! Yea, wait thou on the Lord!”

If we self-shame and self-judge, we create a filter around us where every interaction sounds like we are being shamed and judged. Sometimes instead of thinking someone else is judging us, we need to check if we’ve been doing it to ourselves.

Faithful service does not exalt me or change my role as God’s servant. Faithful service only confirms that I am His servant.

Un pasteur a commenté ainsi ce verset : " Sur cette terre, dans l’économie actuelle, rien n’est durable car tout est directement ou indirectement corruptible.
Mais dans l’économie future, en Christ qui est le nouvel Adam, nous revêtiront cette incorruptibilité que l’ancien Adam, en tant que tête fédérale de l’humanité, nous a fait perdre en Éden. La racine adamique est entièrement corrompue, seulement en tant que chrétien régénérés, nous ne poussons plus sur l’ancien racine adamique corrompue, mais nous avons été greffés sur la nouvelle racine, c’est à dire Christ, le cep incorruptible. Il nous reste encore de la sève de notre ancienne racine, mais dans l’économie future, il ne restera plus aucune trace de cette corruption. La nouvelle vie aura totalement effacée toutes traces de l’ancienne."

The Bible uses many terms to describe the nature of sin: ignorance (Eph. 4:18), error (Mk. 12:24-27), impurity, idolatry (Gal. 5:19-20), trespass (Rom. 5:15), etc. Sin’s essence is placing something else in God’s place. It is anything that falls short of His glory and perfection. Sin is disobedience.

F.F. Bruce, The New Testament Documents : Are They Reliable ? 1949, p. 15.
The evidence for our New Testament writings is ever so much greater than the evidence for many writings of classical authors, the authenticity of which no-one dreams of questioning. And if the New Testament were a collection of secular writings, their authenticity would generally be regarded as beyond all doubt. It is a curious fact that historians have often been much readier to trust the New Testament than have many theologians.

John MacArthur, The Gospel According to Jesus, 1988, p. 32.
Repentance as Jesus characterized it…involves a recognition of one’s utter sinfulness and a turning from self and sin to God (cf. 1 Thessalonians 1:9). Far from being a human work, it is the inevitable result of God’s work in a human heart. And it always represents the end of any human attempt to earn God’s favor. It is much more than a mere change of mind – it involves a complete change of heart, attitude, interest, and direction. It is a conversion in every sense of the word.
John MacArthur, The Gospel According to Jesus, 1988, p. 32.
Il y a deux façons de se sortir d'une épreuve. L'une consiste simplement à essayer de se débarrasser de l'épreuve et à être reconnaissant lorsqu'elle est terminée. L'autre est de reconnaître l'épreuve comme un défi de Dieu pour réclamer une bénédiction plus grande que celle que nous avons jamais eue. Nous devrions l'accueillir avec joie comme une occasion d'obtenir une plus grande mesure de la grâce divine.
Ainsi, même l'adversaire devient un auxiliaire, et les choses qui semblent être contre nous se révèlent être pour l'avancement de notre chemin. Assurément, nous devons être "plus que vainqueurs par celui qui nous a aimés" (Romains 8:37).
A. B. Simpson
I once heard an old man say something that I have never forgotten. “When God tests you it is a good time for you to test Him by putting His promises to the proof. Claim from Him just as much as your trials have made necessary.”
There are two ways of getting out of a trial. One is simply to try to get rid of the trial and be thankful when it is over. The other is to recognize the trial as a challenge from God to claim a larger blessing than we have ever had. We should greet it with delight as an opportunity of obtaining a larger measure of divine grace.
Thus even the adversary becomes an auxiliary, and the things that seem to be against us turn out to be for the furtherance of our way. Surely, we are to be “more than conquerors through him that loved us” (Romans 8:37).

H. Wayne House, Charts of Christian Theology and Doctrine, Zondervan, 1992, p. 35.
All people believe that something is true. If God is the God of truth and the true God, then God is truth. This Truth (capital T) is the context for all other truth. Therefore the existence of truth implies the existence of Truth, which implies the existence of God (The Argument from Truth, proponents- Augustine, A. Strong).

God is pleased when you give beyond your ability to give. The point is God is pleased when you give sacrificially. Salvation is free, but stewardship is costly. Few of us really give sacrificially. Most of us adjust our standard of giving to our standard of living. Instead, we should adjust our standard of living to our standard of giving.

Étant lui-même Dieu, Jésus n’avait jamais eu à obéir. Mais, étant devenu homme, il a montré ce qui convenait à cette condition : une obéissance inconditionnelle à Dieu. Cette obéissance l’a conduit à la croix : “Il s’est abaissé lui-même, étant devenu obéissant jusqu’à la mort, et à la mort de la croix” (Philippiens 2. 8). Dieu a été pleinement glorifié par l’obéissance parfaite de l’homme Christ Jésus.

It is great folly to cast your sins upon Satan who tempted you, or upon your neighbor who provoked you; but it is a far greater sin, nay horrid blasphemy, to cast it upon God himself. A greater affront than this cannot be offered to the infinite holiness of God.
