Divine Providence Quotes

“Our forgetfulness is, at the least, a secret denial of God's power in the works of creation and providence. It ushers in distrust of Him and introduces the fear of man”
― Stephen Charnock, Divine Providence: A Classic Work for Modern Readers

“Adversity is not always an absolute evil, nor is prosperity always an absolute good. Rather both are indifferent, and either may be used for the honour or the dishonour of God. Both are good when used for His honour; both are evil when used for His dishonour.

Sin is the only thing that is absolutely evil, as it is always dishonouring to God.

Holiness - and a likeness to God, for His glory alone - is the only thing in the world that is absolutely good.”
