What is a Christian? The richest answer I know is that a Christian is one who has God as Father.

Our high and privileged calling is to do the will of God in the power of God for the glory of God.

The Spirit is not given to make Bible study needless, but to make it effective.

One of the many divine qualities of the Bible is that it does not yield its secrets to the irreverent and the censorious.

The saving power of the cross does not depend on faith being addded to it; its saving power is such that faith flows from it

God's Word is not presented in Scripture in the form of a theological system, but it admits of being stated in that form, and, indeed, requires to be so stated before we can properly grasp it - grasp it, that is, as a whole. Every text has its immediate context in the passage from which it comes, its broader context in the book to which it belongs, and its ultimate context in the Bible as a whole; and it needs to be rightly related to each of these contexts if its character, scope and significance is to be adequately understood.

Optimism is a wish without warrant; Christian hope is a certainty, guaranteed by God himself. Optimism reflects ignorance as to whether good things will ever actually come. Christian hope expresses knowledge that every day of his life, and every moment beyond it, the believer can say with truth, on the basis of God's own commitment, that the best is yet to come.
