A Godly Man is a Man of Knowledge

Filed under: Book Reviews, Puritanism, Quotes — Michael Pate @ 8:34 pm

The following quotes are taken from Thomas Watson’s The Godly Man’s Picture.

“True knowledge brings a man out of love with himself.  The more he knows, the more he blushes at his own ignorance.” -23

“Though God requires knowledge of God more than burnt offerings, (Hos. 6:6), yet it is a knowledge accompanied by obedience.  True knowledge not only improves a Christian’s sight, but improves his pace.” -24

“Knowledge which is not applied will only light a man to hell.  It would be better to live a savage than to die an infidel under the gospel.” -26

“Saving knowledge is not by speculation, but by inspiration.” -27
