Now, Selwyn starts to bring together what he has been writing about over the last two months.
I think the key statement, in today’s study, is: ‘… when the Lord talks about Himself in Scripture it is often in terms of His attributes or character traits – kindness, justice, righteousness and so on. And there is a clear [...]
