“For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things.” - Romans 11:36
Jonathan Edwards in “God Glorified in Man’s Dependence”:
“The several ways wherein the dependence of one being may be upon another for its good, and wherein the redeemed of Jesus Christ depend on God for all their good, and these
viz. That they have all their good of
Him, and that they have all
through Him and that they have all
in Him.
That
He is the cause and original whence all their good comes, therein it is
of Him;
and that
He is the medium by which it is obtained and conveyed, therein they have it
through Him;
And that
He is the good itself given and conveyed, therein it is
in Him.”
What a great sermon this is! It is amazing that he wrote it so early in his ministerial service.
