A Year with the Institutes, Day 8
john walker | 8:37 AM | Institutes
". . . [the pious] 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 would still shudder at offending him alone." (1.2.2)
