All of His glorious attributes and perfections are yours!
祂一切荣耀的属性和完全都是你的！
(William Nicholson, “Pearls of Great Price!”)
(威廉·尼科尔森，《极贵的珍珠》)
It is the privilege of Christians to say, “For this God is our God for ever and ever! He will be our guide even to the end!” Psalm 48:14
这是基督徒的特权，可以说：”因为这位神永永远远是我们的神！祂必引导我们到死时！”诗篇48:14
The believer is also called an heir of God, which implies that he is entitled, through grace, to all that the Infinite Jehovah possesses, so far as shall be needful to make him completely and eternally happy.
信徒也被称为神的后嗣，这意味着借着恩典，他有权得到无限的耶和华所拥有的一切，只要是使他完全永远快乐所需的。
God is . . .
an infinite Being,
without bounds to His essence,
wonderful in His actions,
inconceivable in His purposes,
and inexpressible in His attributes.
神是。。。
无限的存在，
祂的本质无边无际，
祂的作为奇妙，
祂的旨意难以测度，

He is . . .
infinitely more than worlds in Himself;
too high for our speculations, and
too majestic for our descriptions-yet
He is the God of all His redeemed people!
祂是。。。
在自身远超诸世界；
高超到我们无法揣测，
