Philip Yancey Quotes

God Wants Us To Choose To Love Him Freely, Even When That Choice Involves Pain, Because We Are Committed To Him, Not To Our Own Good Feelings And Rewards. He Wants Us To Cleave To Him, As Job Did, Even When We Have Every Reason To Deny Him Hotly. That, I Believe, Is The Central Message Of Job. Satan Had Taunted God With The Accusation That Humans Are Not Truly Free. Was Job Being Faithful Simply Because God Had Allowed Him A Prosperous Life? Job's Fiery Trials Proved The Answer Beyond Doubt. Job Clung To God's Justice When He Was The Best Example In History Of God's Apparent Injustice. He Did Not Seek The Giver Because Of His Gifts; When All Gifts Were Removed He Still Sought The Giver.
