Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. (Proverbs 23)

As Though God Could Be Indebted

We show our scorn of God’s sufficiency, by secret thoughts of meriting from him by any religious act, as though God could be indebted to us, and obliged by us. As though our devotions could bring a blessedness to God more than he essentially hath.

Charles Spurgeon
