“There are two general ways of looking at God; from the point of view of Sinai, or as He is revealed to us on Calvary. If we know God only, or chiefly, as He is revealed to us in the lights and shadows, the thunderings and threatenings, of Sinai, He will appear to us rather stern and austere, — a Lawgiver and Judge.

“There is, and let us thank God that there is; a glimpse of another side to the God of Sinai; a glimpse of the truth that He is also merciful and long-suffering toward all who recognize their need, and respect His sovereignty. But this is only anticipatory of the view of God we get from Calvary.” — Robert Golladay
