GOD - Glory

上帝 - 榮耀

As no place can be without God, so no place can compass and contain him.

Stephen Charnock

沒有一個地方能闕如上帝,也沒有一個地方能包圍、限制祂。

The Lord's presence is infinite, his brightness insupportable, his majesty awful, his dominion boundless and his sovereignty incontestable.

Matthew Henry

上主的臨在無遠弗屆,祂的榮光難以向背,祂的權能大而可畏,祂的統管浩瀚無垠,祂的王權無人匹敵。

A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.

C. S. Lewis

比起關在病房的精神病人以為自己在牆壁塗上「黑暗」兩字就能熄滅太陽,一個人想藉著拒絕敬拜上帝而減弱上帝的榮耀可是困難得多。

God is as incomparable as he is immutable.  He is infinitely farther above the tallest archangel than that archangel is above a worm.

William S. Plumer

上帝之無人匹敵正如同祂的永遠不朽。祂的無限與最高天使長的比較,正如同天使長與蟲的比較。

What is the glory of God?  It is the manifestation of any or all his attributes.  In other words, it is the displaying of God to the world.  Thus, things which glorify God are things which show the characteristics of his being to the world.

Charles Caldwell Ryrie

甚麼是上帝的榮耀?就是上帝屬性的彰顯。換言之,就是上帝對世人的作為。如此一來,上帝的榮耀就是上帝顯示祂對世人的特質。

There is nothing little in God.

C. H. Spurgeon

上帝之內,沒有小事。

Creation can add nothing to the essential wealth or worthiness of God.

Augustus H. Strong

創造無法在上帝本有的富足及價值上增添些甚麼。
