Those who set up a fictitious worship, merely worship and adore their own delirious fancies; indeed, they would never dare so to trifle with God, had they not previously fashioned him after their own childish conceits.

A man will be justified by faith when, excluded from righteousness of works, he by faith lays hold of the righteousness of Christ, and clothed in it, appears in the sight of God not as a sinner, but as righteous.

We must make the invisible kingdom visible in our midst.

Man is never sufficiently touched and affected by the awareness of his lowly state until he has compared himself with God's majesty.
