The word of God teacheth lowliness of mind; it teacheth us to know ourselves.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The word of God is that unto our souls, which our soul is unto our body.
God gave us the mind so that we can know him.
Nothing said to us, nothing we can learn from others, reaches us so deep as that which we find in ourselves.
Knowledge is not a passion from without the mind, but an active exertion of the inward strength, vigor and power of the mind, displaying itself from within.
Knowledge of God's Word is a bulwark against deception, temptation, accusation, even persecution.
We can only learn to know ourselves and do what we can - namely, surrender our will and fulfill God's will in us.
We speak of virtue, honour, reason; but our thought does not translate any one of these concepts into a substance.
Mind and spirit together make up that which separates us from the rest of the animal world, that which enables a man to know the truth and that which enables him to die for the truth.
God's most lordly gift to man is decency of mind.
Within us there is someone who knows everything, wills everything, does everything better than we ourselves.
