Round the Sphere Again: God

His Nature
In Romans 1:19-20, Paul writes that there are attributes of God that can be known from “the things that have been made.” Paul calls these attributes God’s “eternal power and divine nature.” But divine nature is not a very specific term. What might be included in it?

Probably these (Nathaniel Claiborn at Marturo).

His Works
Providentially, the four readings from For the Love of God for January 26 all teach us that “God sovereignly rules, behind the scenes, bringing glory out of gore and honor out of shame” (Don Carson).

Sunday's Hymn: O How I Love Jesus

There is a name I love to hear,
I love to sing its worth;
It sounds like music in my ear,
The sweetest name on earth.

Refrain

O how I love Jesus,
O how I love Jesus,
O how I love Jesus,
Because He first loved me!

It tells me of a Savior’s love,
Who died to set me free;
It tells me of His precious blood,
The sinner’s perfect plea.

It tells me what my Father hath
In store for every day,
And though I tread a darksome path,
Yields sunshine all the way.

It tells of One whose loving heart
Can feel my deepest woe;
Who in each sorrow bears
A part that none can bear below.

—Charles H. Gab­ri­el
