Doing Things In Secret That You Are

So Saving Grace, Converting Grace, For Augustine, Is God's Giving Us A Sovereign Joy In God That Triumphs Over All Other Joys And Therefore Sways The Will. The Will Is Free To Move Toward Whatever It Delights In Most Fully, But It Is Not Within The Power Of Our Will To Determine What That Sovereign Joy Will Be.

God Made Us In His Own Image So That His Image Would Be Shown.

The Whole World Lives For Pleasure. The Only Difference Is Theirs Is Fleeting, While Ours Is Forever In Jesus.

That's Who Jesus Christ Is. He Became The Final Priest And The Final Sacrifice. Sinless, He Did Not Offer Sacrifices For Himself. Immortal, He Never Has To Be Replaced. Human, He Could Bear Human Sins. Therefore He Did Not Offer Sacrifices For Himself; He Offered Himself As The Final Sacrifice. There Will Never Be The Need For Another. There Is One Mediator Between Us And God. One Priest. We Need No Other. Oh, How Happy Are Those Who Draw Near To God Through Christ Alone.

The Greatest Cause In The World Is Joyfully Rescuing People From Hell, Meeting Their Earthly Needs, Making Them Glad In God, And Doing It With A Kind, Serious Pleasure That Makes Christ Look Like The Treasure He Is.
