PART II

A Gospel Narrative

Prose Version

“To use an expression . . . , we must ‘preach the gospel to ourselves every day.’ For me that means I keep going back to Scriptures such as Isaiah 53:6, Galatians 2:20, and Romans 8:1. It means I frequently repeat the words from an old hymn, ‘My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.’”

Jerry Bridges, in “Gospel-Driven Sanctification”

The Glory of God

1 My God is immense beyond imagination. He measured the entire universe with merely the span of His hand.164

2 He is unimaginably awesome in all of His perfections, absolutely righteous, holy, and just in all of His ways.165

3 He has also been unbelievably good and merciful to me as the Creator and Sustainer of my life.

4 Every breath, every heartbeat, every function of every organ in my body is a gift from Him.

5 Every legitimate pleasure I experience is a gift from His loving hand to me.166

6 All that I am and all that I have I owe to Him and to His goodness.167

7 My life in every way is, and will continue to be, utterly dependent upon Him in whom I live and move and have my being.168

8 This wonderful God is the most supremely worthy Object of admiration,169 honor,170 and delight171 in all of the universe;

9 And He has created me with the intention that I might glorify Him172 by finding my soul’s delight in Him and by living in joyful obedience to Him in all of my ways.173
