'Even the Christian must fear God.  But it is another kind of fear.  It is a fear rather of what might have been than of what is; it is a fear of what would come were we not in Christ.  Without such fear there can be no true love; for love of the Saviour is proportioned to one's horror of that from which man has been saved.  And how strong are the lives that are suffused with such a love!  They are lives brave, not because the realities of life have been ignored, but because they have first been faced — lives that are founded upon the solid foundation of God's grace.  May such lives be ours!'
