Attributes and Holiness of God
"So in love is Christ with holiness that he will buy it with his blood for us." - John Flavel.
"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." - John Calvin.
"Power is God’s hand or arm, omniscience is his eye, mercy his bowels, eternity his duration, but holiness is his beauty." - Stephen Charnock, The Existence and Attributes of God.
"Any sin is more or less heinous depending upon the honor and majesty of the one whom we had offended. Since God is of infinite honor, infinite majesty, and infinite holiness, the slightest sin is of infinite consequence. The slightest sin is nothing less than cosmic treason when we realize against whom we have sinned." - Jonathan Edwards.
"Not all the vials of judgment that have or shall be poured out upon the wicked world, nor the flaming furnace of a sinner’s conscience, nor the irreversible sentence pronounced against the rebellious demons, nor the groans of the damned creatures, give such a demonstration of God’s hatred of sin, as the wrath of God let loose upon his son. Never did Divine holiness appear more beautiful and lovely than at the time our Savior’s countenance was most marred in the midst of his dying groans." - Stephen Charnock, The Existence and Attributes of God.
