"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction." - Proverbs 1:7
John Calvin said in Institutes of the Christian Religion, "Without knowledge of self, there is no knowledge of God" and "without knowledge of God there is no knowledge of self." Essentially arguing that the fear of God is the basis of everything and without it we are lost. Are you willing to come to know God as you should? And, in turn, come to know yourself?
