"When we behold the disfigurement of the Son of God and when we find ourselves appalled by His marred appearance; we need to reckon afresh that it is upon ourselves we gaze for He stood in our place."

Cultivate a Love for Him
"The pious [that is, godly] mind . . . restrains itself from sinning, not out of dread of punishment alone; but, because it loves and reveres God as Father, it worships and adores Him as Lord. Even if there were no hell, it will still shudder at offending Him alone."
