Quote by C.S. Lewis
What do people mean when they say, 'I am not afraid of God because I know He is good'? Have they never even been to a dentist?
Summary
This quote is using a humorous analogy to highlight the common sentiment that if people truly believed in the goodness of God, they should not fear Him. By referencing a dentist, who may cause discomfort or pain, it suggests that if people do not fear dental procedures despite their potential discomfort, they should also not fear God. The quote playfully challenges the notion of complete trust in a benevolent higher power, highlighting the paradox between trusting in the goodness of God and fearing Him.
