Puritan Wisdom


On Hebrews 2:5-9 – “[God] hath not made the world, and then turned it off his hand, to stand on its own bottom in shift for itself; but there is continually, every moment, and emanation of power from God unto every creature, the greatest, the least, the meanest, to preserve them in there being an order; which if it were suspended but for one moment, they would all lose their station and being, and by confusion be reduced into nothing. ‘In him we live, and move, and have our being,’ Acts 17:28; and ‘he give us to all life, and breath, and all things,’ verse 25.”  – John Owen, Epistle to the Hebrews, volume 3, 348.
