Excerpt from Practical Discourses on the Perfections and Wonderful Works of God: And on the Divinity and Wonderful Works of Jesus Christ
The imperfect knowledge men have of the God who made them, is one great reason why they take so little pains to serve him. Being destined by the very end of their creation to serve him in this life, and to be happy with him in the next, it should be natural for them, one would think, to inquire into the nature of that happiness, and to learn by what means they may make that happiness their own. To a Christian, therefore, no knowledge can be so useful or so interesting as that of God. For to know God is the first step he has to take towards the happiness he hopes for. From that knowledge he must draw every efii cacious motive of serving God with fidelity and truth to the end of life.
