Know God — Know Thyself

“The knowledge of God and the knowledge of self always go hand in hand. There is no true knowledge of self apart from the knowledge of God. The doctrine of God shows us the distance between a transcendent God and His created image-bearers, and it simultaneously draws us toward imitation.”

John Calvin
