Quote

God’s grace is not infinite. God is infinite, and God is gracious. We experience the grace of an infinite God, but grace is not infinite. God sets limits to His patience and forbearance. He warns us over and over again that someday the ax will fall and His judgment will be poured out.

The Bible's truth does not depend in any way on whether or not a person believes the truth.

Image
The grand difference between a human being and a Supreme being is precisely this: Apart from God I cannot exist apart from me God does exist. God does not need me in order for Him to be. I do need God in order for me to be. We are dependent. We are fragile. This is how we differ from God.
