The Sinner Afraid of God
Genesis 3:8
And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day…


I once met a little boy in Wales, crying bitterly at his father's door, afraid to go in. I asked him what was the matter. He told me that his mother had sent him out clean in the morning, but that he had got into the water, and made his clothes dirty. So he feared to go in, because his father would punish him. We have soiled our characters by sin, and therefore is it that we fear death — dread the meeting with our Father.

(Thomas Jones.)
