“Our salvation is ‘from outside ourselves’ (extra nos). I find salvation, not in my life story, but only in the story of Jesus Christ. What we call our life, our troubles, and our guilt is by no means the whole of reality; our life, our need, our guilt, and our deliverance are there in the Scriptures.”
— Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“The gospel is not just the ABCs of the Christian life but the A to Z of the Christian life.”
—Tim Keller
“God reveals Himself. He reveals Himself through Himself. He reveals Himself. … One may sum up the meaning of the doctrine of the Trinity briefly and simply by saying that God is the One who reveals Himself.”
—Karl Barth Church Dogmatics I/1
“If you want to judge how well a person understands Christianity,, find out how much they make of being God’s child and having God as father.”
—J.I. Packer, Knowing God
“True, [God’s] love for me is not based on my qualification or my preparation but it is misleading to say that God accepts us the way we are. Rather he accepts us despite the way we are. He receives us only in Christ and for Christ’s sake. Nor does he mean to leave us the way he found us, but to transform us into the likeness of his son. Without that transformation and new conformity of life we do not have any evidence that we were ever his in the first place.”
— Sinclair Ferguson, The Whole Christ
