Deuteronomy 5:4-7. John Calvin's Sermons on the Ten Commandments. 1555. Sermon Two.

And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly. And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.
~ Exodus 19:18-19

Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them. And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed. And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
~ Psalm 106:23, Numbers 16:48, Hebrews 12:24, 1 Timothy 2:5

I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
~ Psalm 81:10, Matthew 4:10

Now in addition he tests our humility. For if he thundered from heaven, if he appeared to us visibly, if the angels descended, it would hardly be a thing of astonishment if men believed his Word. But when both the great and the small receive the decree which he has instituted in his church: that we should obey his Word when it is preached, that is the means by which our faith is tested. Nevertheless, let us always return to this: that God has sufficiently revealed himself to men, so much so that we shall have no occasion to put his Word in doubt and dispute what has happened. For his will for us is more than certain on condition that we are not unwilling to receive the signs which have been given to us concerning it.
