Quotes from THE HOLINESS OF GOD by RC Sproul

What is that which gleams through me,
and smites my heart without wounding it?
I am both a-shudder and a-glow.
A-shudder in so far as I am not like it,
a-glow in so far as I am like it.--
Augustine

Hence that dread and amazement with which, as Scripture uniformly relates, holy men were struck and overwhelmed whenever they beheld the presence of God....Men are never duly touched and impressed with a conviction of their insignificance until they have contrasted themselves with the majesty of God.--
Calvin

Let God be God--
Luther

If man is not made for God,
why is he only happy in God?
If man is made for God,
why is he so opposed to God?--
Pascal

Almost every natural man that hears of hell, flatters himself that he shall escape it.--
Edwards
