Romans

"if you are not made compassionate by your self understanding as fallen; you don't know yet how bad you are, and how good God is to you"

Jonathon Edwards
"this docterine teaches us to think no worse of others than of ourselves; it teaches us that we are all companions in a miserable helpless condition which under a revelation of divine mercy tend to produce mutuel compassion and nothing has a greater tendancy to promote those amiable dispositions of mercy forebearance, long-suffering, gentleness, and forgiveness than a sense of our own extreme unworthiness and misery and the infinite need of divine pity and forbearance and forgiveness together for with the hope of obtaining mercy"

Doulos=Bondservant





Matthew 6:24
No man can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot, serve God and mammon.
