The difference between believing that God is gracious
and tasting that God is gracious is as different as
having a rational belief that honey is sweet
and having the actual sense of its sweetness.
– Jonathan Edwards
God is love (I John 4:8) and God is holy (I Peter 1:16).
He is neither more loving than he is holy, nor more holy than loving.
God’s love is holy, and his holiness is love. He is holy love and loving holiness.
– Michael Wittmer
Those who do not fear God do not live in the reality of God.
– Gary Thomas
God’s chief gift to those who seek him is himself.
— E.B. Pusey
I like the fourth quote particularly well. Sometimes, people hope to receive other forms of wealth from God, without realizing that they have received the ultimate gift.
