Willingness to be damned for the glory of God.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
God preordained, for his own glory and the display of His attributes of mercy and justice, a part of the human race, without any merit of their own, to eternal salvation, and another part, in just punishment of their sin, to eternal damnation.
An insatiable appetite for glory leads to sacrifice and death, but innate instinct leads to self-preservation and life.
God grant you the strength to fight off the temptations of surrender.
To desire and expect nothing for oneself and to have profound sympathy for others is genuine holiness.
One may no more live in the world without picking up the moral prejudices of the world than one will be able to go to hell without perspiring.
The very desire for guarantees that our values are eternal and secure in some objective heaven is perhaps only a craving for the certainties of childhood or the absolute values of our primitive past.
I fear that too many have sadly surrendered their agency to the adversary and are saying by their conduct, 'I care more about satisfying my own desires than I do about bearing the Savior's power to bless others.'
God wants us to serve willingly and obediently.
For God so loved the World that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
God is not willing to do everything, and thus take away our free will and that share of glory which belongs to us.
