Top Highlights

“But God’s favor is first and foremost about giving us the privilege of knowing Him, simply for the purpose of knowing Him.” (Page 37)

“we gain favor with God as we pursue His wisdom in order to discover and fulfill the destiny for which He created us” (Page 37)

“if Jesus Christ needed to increase in favor with God, I need it much more.” (Page 24)

“We steward the presence of God by learning to obey the commands ‘Do not grieve the Holy Spirit’ (Ephesians 4:30) and ‘Do not quench the Spirit’ (1 Thessalonians 5:19). We grieve Him when we do something wrong; we quench Him when we fail to do what is right, stopping the flow of His love and power that comes from the Father. Jesus modeled what life could be like when a person neither grieves nor quenches the Holy Spirit.” (Pages 22–23)

“While God loves everyone the same, not everyone has the same measure of favor. Yet everyone is positioned to increase in favor if each one of us effectively stewards what we have. In other words, when we seek His face from the favor we have, we increase in favor itself.” (Page 26)
