Timothy J. Keller Quote

We humans may say, Let there be light in this room, but then we have to flick a switch or light a candle. Our words need deeds to back them up and can fail to achieve their purposes. God’s words, however, cannot fail their purposes because, for God, speaking and acting are the same thing. The God of the Bible is a God who by his very nature, acts through speaking.105
