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

Mary was more blessed in accepting the faith of Christ than in conceiving the flesh of Christ. To someone who said, 'Blessed is the womb that bore you,' [Jesus] replied, 'Rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God and keep it.' Finally, for His brothers, His relatives according to the flesh who did not believe in Him, of what advantage was that relationship? Even her maternal relationship would have done Mary no good unless she had borne Christ more happily in her heart than in her flesh.

Augustine

Why is God justified in having wrath toward you if you have not come to Christ on His terms? 1. Because you are a sinner by nature (Eph. 2:3; Rom. 3:10; Ps. 51:5). 2. Because you have amassed a huge volume of sins. 3. Because you have committed the greatest crime possible, against the highest existing authority (Mk. 12:30). 4. Because of your persistence in sinning against God. 5. Because you have spurned the greatest love gift ever [Jesus Christ]. 6. Because you have spurned this gift even though you have knowledge of Christ and the way of salvation (Mt. 11:21-24). 7. Because you have been unwilling to admit your desperate need (Jn. 9:39-40). 8. Because you have been proud of your good works, though dependence on them damns you (Gal. 2:21; Eph. 2:8-9; Gal. 5:4). 9. Because you have not repented even though He has been kind to you (Rom. 2:4-5). 10. Because you have stubbornly refused to yield to God and His way of salvation in Jesus Christ to the last possible moment—now!
