"Because God is unique as an all-glorious, totally self-sufficient Being, He must be for Himself if He is to be for us. The rule of humility that belongs to a creature cannot apply in the same way to it's Creator. If God should turn away from Himself as the Source of infinite joy, He would cease to be God. He would deny the infinite worth of His own glory. He would imply that there is something more valuable outside Himself. He would commit idolatry."
- J. Piper
