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

There is tremendous relief in knowing that His love to me is based at every point on prior knowledge of the worst about me.

The healthy Christian is not necessarily the extrovert, ebullient Christian, but the Christian who has a sense of God's presence stamped deep on his soul, who trembles at God's word, who lets it dwell in him richly by constant meditation upon it, and who tests and reforms his life daily in response to it.

The character of God is today, and always will be, exactly what it was in Bible times.

God is triune; there are within the Godhead three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; and the work of salvation is one in which all three act together, the Father purposing redemption, the Son securing it and the Spirit applying it.

We approach Scripture with minds already formed by the mass of accepted opinions and viewpoints with which we have come into contact, in both the Church and the world....It is easy to be unaware that it has happened; it is hard even to begin to realize how profoundly tradition in this sense has moulded us.

Men treat God's sovereignty as a theme for controversy, but in Scripture it is matter for worship.
