What peace can they have who are not at peace with God?

Those whom God will employ are first struck with a sense of their unworthiness to be employed.

All this and heaven too.

If God and his grace do not rule us, sin and Satan will have possession of us.

They have most satisfaction in themselves, and consequently the sweetest relish of their creature comforts.

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.
