Patristic Quote of the Day

God has made us and given us life not that we might see the sky and sun, as Athenagoras thought, but that we might, with a pure and complete mind, worship God, who made the sky and the sun. - Lactantius, Divine Institutes, Book 6, Chapter 1 [cited in Gerhard, On the Nature of God and on the Trinity, p. 3]
