In reading the scriptures, i find a great moral power. therein am i made aware of two great forces for good in human experience: the "fear" of god and the "grace" of god. without the fear of god, i should not stop at doing evil; the fear of god restrains from evil. without the grace of god, i should have no desire to approach positive goodness. the one is a deterrent from evil; the other an encouragement to good.
