A Godly Man Is Like God

Filed under: Book Reviews, Puritanism, Quotes — Michael Pate @ 8:49 pm

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
