Bible Note: "It is a matter of common agreement that without religion we live a most miserable life, not above the level of brute beasts, and consequently there is no one who wishes to appear completely alien to piety and the worship of God. Yet there is a great difference in the way men declare their religion, for the majority goes untouched by the earnest fear of God. "Yet in the meantime they lead a most depraved life completely devoid of all zeal for uprightness; and display utter nonchalance in their contempt of God's judgment. Then, because they measure God not by His infinite majesty but by the foolish and stupid vanity of their own nature, they fall away from the true God. Accordingly, with however much care they afterward weary themselves over worshiping God, they get nowhere, since it is not the eternal God but the dreams and ravings of their own hearts they are adoring as God. But true godliness does not consist in a fear which willingly indeed flees God's judgment, but since it cannot escape is terrified. True godliness consists rather in a sincere feeling which loves God as father as much as it fears and reverences Him as Lord, embraces His righteousness and dreads offending Him worse than death. And whoever have been endowed with this godliness dare not fashion out of their own rashness any god for themselves. Rather they seek from Him the knowledge of the true God, and conceive Him just as He shows and declares Himself to be." --John Calvin |
