In order to the attaining of all useful knowledge this is most necessary, that we fear God; we are not qualified to profit by the instructions that are given us unless our minds be possessed with a holy reverence of God, and every thought within us be brought into obedience to Him.... As all our knowledge must take rise from the fear of God, so it must tend to it as its perfection and centre. Those know enough who know how to fear God, who are careful in every thing to please Him and fearful of offending Him in any thing; this is the Alpha and Omega of knowledge.
Matthew HenryNo man will say, "There is no God" 'till he is so hardened in sin that it has become his interest that there should be none to call him to account.
Matthew HenryThose that abide in Christ as their heart's desire shall have, through Christ, their heart's desire.
Matthew Henry
