God hath promised pardon to him that repenteth, but he hath not promised repentance to him that sinneth.

It is, therefore, not proper for God thus to pass over sin unpunished.

I do not try, Lord, to attain Your lofty heights, because my understanding is in no way equal to it. But I do desire to understand Your truth a little, that truth that my heart believes and loves. I do not seek to understand that I may believe; but I believe so that I may understand. For I believe this also, that unless I believe, I shall not understand.

For I do not seek to understand in order to believe, but I believe in order to understand. For I believe this: unless I believe, I will not understand.

But a problem occurs about nothing. For that from which something is made is a cause of the thing made from it; and, necessarily,every cause contributes some assistance to the effect's existence.

God hath promised pardon to him that repenteth, but he hath not promised repentance to him that sinneth.

Let no worldly prosperity divert you, nor any worldly adversity restrain you from His praise.
