If you have a heart that trembles at the Word

The following quote to kick off this blog is from Jeremiah Burroughs, from the title of the book from which I draw this blog and affected my heart so much, encouraging and strengthening me in the faith:

"If you have a heart that trembles at the Word, know that all the threats that are in God's Word have the glory of them already upon your soul and, therefore, you do not need to fear any evil from them.  You need not, I say, fear the execution of any threats that are in God's Word.  Why? Because God has the glory that He would have from His threats already in and upon your heart.  Why is it that the Lord in His Word so threatens sinners?  It is that He might have glory, that sinners might fear Him."  Jeremiah Burroughs, Gospel Fear, Soli Deo Gloria Publications, p. 49
