In salvation we are not only saved from sin and damnation; we are saved unto holiness. The goal of redemption is holiness.
R. C. SproulTo be a Christian is to be a theologian-a student of God and his will. The contemporary disdain for theological content and emphasis on self-image and emotions were not shared by the apostolic church.

He was the only innocent man ever to be punished by God. If we stagger at the wrath of God, let us stagger at the Cross. Here is where our astonishment should be focused.
