| | | In Sinful Times We Should Be Most Holy
Stephen Charnock, "Discourse XI on the Holiness of God," in The Existence and Attributes of God, Vol. 2, p. 198: Quote: |
We honor this attribute [the holiness of God], when we show a greater affection to the marks of his holiness in times of the greatest contempt of it. As the Psalmist (Ps. cxix. 126, 127); "They have made void thy law, therefore I love thy commandments above gold;" while they spurn at the purity of thy law, I will value it above the gold they possess; I will esteem it as gold, because others count it as dross; by their scorn of it, my love to it shall be the warmer; and my hatred of iniquity shall be the sharper: the disdain of others should inflame us with a zeal and fortitude to appear in behalf of his despised honor.
