Quote by Blaise Pascal

Knowlege of God without knowledge of man's wretchedness leads to pride. Knowledge of man's wretchedness without knowledge of God leads to despair. Knowledge of Jesus Christ is the middle course, because by it we discover both God and our wretched state.


Knowlege of God without knowledge of man's wretchedness lead

Summary

This quote suggests that having knowledge and understanding of God, without recognizing the flaws and weaknesses of humanity, can lead to a sense of arrogance and superiority. On the other hand, acknowledging the wretchedness and brokenness of humanity without an awareness and connection to God can result in hopelessness and desolation. It proposes that the middle ground is found in the knowledge of Jesus Christ, as it allows individuals to not only comprehend the divine but also comprehend their own shortcomings, offering a balanced perspective of God's grace and the need for redemption.
