| | I was going over my old Hill Abbey journals, and here are some pearls of wisdom from Athanasius, followed by a quote from John that has been running in my head. What a joy and consolation that the forgiveness and cleansing of God is His justice and delight! What wondrous love is this?
Salvation: "For He regarded our salvation as a delight and a peculiar gain; while on the contrary He looked upon our destruction as loss." - Festal Letter VI.4 Thankfulness: "It is a wicked thing for us who receive the gracious gift, not to acknowledge it..." - Festal Letter IV.3 Works: "For the crown is not given not according to position, but according to action." - Letter to Dracontius, chap. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness- I John 1:9 |
