“Thou hast gone on in all thy life hitherto, ever since thou wast born, in a continual opposition to God Himself, unto the infinite Lord, the eternal first being of all the world; thy life hath been nothing but enmity to this God: thou hast as directly opposed, and striven against, and resisted Him, as ever man did oppose, and resist, and strive with another man, and this thou hast done in the whole course of thy life: certainly there is more in this to humble a man than anything that can be spoken to shew him the evil of sin.”
― Jeremiah Burroughs, The Evil of Evils: The Exceeding Sinfulness of Sin

“It is well for us when prayers about our sorrows are linked with pleas concerning our sins—when, being under God's hand, we are not wholly taken up with our pain, but remember our offences against God.”
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon, Morning and Evening, Based on the English Standard Version

“God's revelation in the Gospel not only reveals Who He is, but it also reveals who we are.”
― David Platt, Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream

“We may have loved the god that we made up in our minds, but the God of the Bible, we hate.”
