“As we must turn keenness of mind toward God, so affection of heart has to follow.” -John Calvin
Sorry for the delay to those who print out the Hebrew flash cards which I post on my Biblical Hebrew Resources page. It’s been a rough couple of weeks with Hebrew and I feel like I have not been able to keep my head above water. But nevertheless, the flash cards for Ch. 13-15 have been posted.
The following quotes are taken from Thomas Watson’s The Godly Man’s Picture.
“A godly man bears God’s name and image; godliness is Godlikeness. It is one thing to profess God, another thing to resemble him.” -32
“God’s power makes him mighty; his mercy makes him lovely; but his holiness makes him glorious. The holiness of God is the intrinsic purity of his nature and his abhorrence of sin. A godly man bears some kind of analogy with God in this.” -32
“The godly set themselves against evil, both in purpose and in practice. They are fearful of that which looks like sin.” -33
“Many pretend to love Christ as a Saviour but hate him as he is the Holy One.” -34
The following quotes are taken from Thomas Watson’s The Godly Man’s Picture.
“As faith enlivens, so love sweetens every duty.” -30
“A godly man loves God and therefore delights to be in his presence; he loves God and therefore takes comfort in nothing without him.” -30
“Let us test our godliness by this touch-stone: Do we love God? Is he our treasure and centre? Can we, with David, call God our ‘joy’, yes, our ‘exceeding joy’? Do we delight in drawing near to him, and ‘come before his presence with singing’? Do we love him for his beauty more than his jewels? Do we love him when he seems not to love us?” -31
“Many court him, but few love him. People are for the most part eaten up with self-love; they love their ease, their worldly profit, their lusts, but they do not have a drop of love to God.” -31
These are quotes from Thomas Watson’s The Godly Man’s Picture.
“Faith enlivens the grace; not a grace stirs up till faith sets it working.” -28
“When I believe God’s love to me, this makes me weep that I should sin against so good a God.” -28
