The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple... More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.
Under the shadow,
under the shadow,
oh, keep me Lord,

forsake me not, o my God,
o my God, forsake me not,
do not let Your glory depart

but make that day last forever,
the shadow my soul longing for.
Hide from me the horrors of my heart,
yet expose me to it, that devilish art,
that I might weep and then repent,

Knowledge grew, from days to years,
Of the world, its joys and tears.
I learnt the sky, the moon, the stars,
The earth and its peoples living afar.
I saw the hills, the lakes, the sun,
The secret heart where dreams do run.…

It is a digest that will try to cover the high points of the doctrine to hopefully equip the reader with sufficient vocabulary and concepts to probe deeper into the wonderful felicity that is the inner life of God.
Excellent books to go deeper include:

1Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, 2which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, 3concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh, 4and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord.

It is a common objection…
