We must reverently adore God, as a being transcendently bright and blessed, self-existent and self-sufficient, an infinite and eternal Spirit, who has all perfections in himself, and give him the glory of his titles and attributes.

We must acknowledge his being to be unquestionable and past dispute.

The heavens declare thy glory, O God, and the firmament showeth thy handy-work, Ps 19:1, and by the things that are made is clearly seen and understood thine eternal power and Godhead. Rom 1:20. So that they are fools without excuse, who say there is no God; for verily there is a reward for the righteous, verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth, and in heaven too. Ps 14:1; Ps 58:11.

We therefore come to thee believing that thou art, and that thou art the powerful and bountiful rewarder of them that diligently seek thee. Heb 11:6

‹ We must reverently adore God, as a being transcendently… · Yet we must own his nature to be incomprehensible. ›
