The more we realize we are loved, the more ashamed we are not to love back. The more we sin as a violation of love, not just of law, the more powerful a motive we will have to overcome it. For sin is attractive to us (otherwise we would never be attracted to it) and can be cast out only by something more attractive.
Peter KreeftMost theists are deists most of the time, in practice if not in theory. They practice the absence of God instead of the presence of God.
