GOD - Holiness | 上帝 - 聖潔 |
God's holiness and his nature are not two things,
they are but one. God's holiness is his nature, and God's nature is his holiness. Thomas Brooks 上帝的聖潔與祂的本質並非兩回事,而是一件事。上帝的聖潔是祂的本質,而上帝的本質就是聖潔。 |
Holiness in angels and
saints is but a quality, but in God it is essence. Thomas Brooks' 對天使及聖徒而言,聖潔是項特質,對上帝而言則是本質。 |
The holiness of God is his glory, as his grace is
his riches. Stephen Charnock 上帝的聖潔是祂的榮耀,正如恩典是祂的財富。 |
No attribute of God is more
dreadful to sinners than his holiness. Matthew Henry 沒有甚麼比上帝聖潔的屬性還令罪人恐懼的。 |
God cannot have more holiness, because he is
perfectly holy; so he cannot have less holiness, because he is unchangeably holy. Thomas Watson 上帝不能夠變得更加聖潔,因為祂已經完全聖潔;故此祂也不能減損聖潔,因為那是永不更迭的聖潔。 |
