God will and can be known in no other way than in and through Christ according to the statement of John 1:18, "The only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him." Christ is the only means whereby we can know God and His will. In Christ we perceive that God is not a cruel judge, but a most loving and merciful Father who to bless and to save us "spared not his own Son, but gave him up for us all." This is truly to know God. - Luther, Martin. Commentary on Galatians (Luther Classic Commentaries) (p. 131). Neeland Media LLC. Kindle Edition.

Hence those that seek to be justified by the Law are much further away from the righteousness of life than the publicans, sinners, and harlots. They know better than to trust in their own works. They know that they cannot ever hope to obtain forgiveness by their sins. - Luther, Martin. Commentary on Galatians (Luther Classic Commentaries) (p. 158). Neeland Media LLC. Kindle Edition.

“The ultimate test of any civilization is how it treats its children.” — Ravi Zacharias

Listen, people of the Lord, Your God Reigns

How delightful it is to see approaching over the mountains the feet of a messenger who announces peace, a messenger who brings good news, who announces deliverance, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!” (Is. 52:7 NET)

We are the children and heirs of God through faith in Christ. We have Christ to thank for everything. — Luther, Martin. Commentary on Galatians (Luther Classic Commentaries) (p. 129). Neeland Media LLC. Kindle Edition. 

Our calling is not primarily to be holy men and women, but to be proclaimers of the gospel of God. The one all-important thing is that the gospel of God should be recognized as the abiding reality. Reality is not human goodness, or holiness, or heaven, or hell—it is redemption. - Chambers, Oswald (2010-10-22). My Utmost for His Highest, Updated Edition (Kindle Locations 889-890).

Christ is The Mystery of God

that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God’s mystery, which is Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. (Col. 2:2–3 ESV)

Hail, O Christ, the Word and Wisdom and Power of God. You Who are God all-powerful! What can we helpless ones give You in return for all these good gifts? For they all come from You, and You demand nothing from us except our salvation, You Who Yourself are the giver of salvation, and yet are grateful to those who receive it through Your unspeakable goodness. Thanks be to You Who gave us life though Your indescribable humility, and granted us the grace of a truly blessed life, restoring it to us when we had gone astray. - On the Orthodox Faith, by John of Damascus (675-749 A.D.)
