We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

I had rather be in hell with Christ, than be in heaven without Him.
Martin Luther

We have so much of the Pharisee in us by nature, that it is sometimes well that our good is hid from us... It is a good life which is attended with a faith of righteousness and a sense of corruption. While I know Christ’s righteousness, I shall the less care to know my own holiness. To be holy is necessary; to know it, sometimes a temptation.
John Owen
