It is only the goodness of God sensibly experienced by us which opens our mouth to celebrate His praise.

No man is excluded from calling upon God, the gate of salvation is set open unto all men: neither is there any other thing which keepeth us back from entering in, save only our own unbelief.

For it was not after we were reconciled to him by the blood of his Son that he began to love us, but he loved us before the foundation of the world, that with his only begotten Son we too might be sons of God before we were anything at all.

The word "hope" I take for faith; and indeed hope is nothing else but the constancy of faith.

Faith alone saves, but the faith that saves is not alone.

Every one of us is, even from his mother's womb, a master craftsman of idols.

If we are given gold, would we not test it to determine it's value? If we doubted its genuineness - we would test it by fire...and so God with us.
