Ch. 5 - The Excellence of the Fear of God
From The Great Gain of Godliness, by Thomas Watson

“He who fears God considers how vain the world is, and therefore dares not love it; how short time is, and therefore dares not lose it; how precious salvation is, and therefore dares not neglect it.” -27

“The very heart is the temple of God, and fear sweeps and cleanses this temple that it may not be defiled.” -31

“Where the fear of God rules the heart, it expels fleshly fear.” -32-33

“‘He who pampers his body and neglects his soul, is like him who feasts his slave and starves his wife.” -32-33
