Unfortunately, this is truth is not universally allowed and maintained by such as call themselves christians, anymore.  Not by a long shot.

“It is evident, by both scripture and reason, that God is infinitely, eternally, unchangeably, and independently glorious and happy; that he stands in no need of, cannot be profited by, or receive anything from the creature; or be truly hurt, or be the subject of any sufferings or impair of his glory and felicity from any other being. I need not stand to produce the proofs of God’s being such a one, it being so universally allowed and maintained by such as call themselves christians.”

- Jonathan Edwards, The End For Which God Created The World
