Quote by John Indermark, Setting the Chri

It's one thing to affirm that God is free to do as God wills in this world. The real crunch comes in allowing God the freedom and trust to act in one's own life.


It's one thing to affirm that God is free to do as God wills

Summary

This quote emphasizes the distinction between acknowledging that God has the freedom to act in the world and actually giving God the freedom to act in one's own life. While individuals might assert that God has the power to do as God pleases, it can be challenging to truly trust and grant God the freedom to intervene and shape one's life. The quote highlights the importance of relinquishing control and placing faith in God's guidance and plan for personal circumstances.

That every man after the life in the world lives to eternity

That every man after the life in the world lives to eternity, is evident from this, that man is then spiritual, and no longer natural, and that the spiritual man, separated from the natural, remains such as he is to eternity, for man's state cannot be changed after death.
