Randy Alcorn Quote

To address good and evil without gazing upon God is fruitless. Good flows from the life connected to God. Evil flows from the life alienated from God. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God (3 John 11). To embrace good and turn from evil, we must see God as he really is. We must not simply believe in God, but believe what is true about God. Diminishing God not only fails to solve theological problems, it dishonors him and becomes idolatry. When we see God as he is, we will see ourselves as we are, leaving him in his rightful place and us in ours.
