We have but one Saviour; and that one Saviour is Jesus Christ our Lord. Nothing that we are and nothing that we can do enters in the slightest measure into the ground of our acceptance with God. Jesus did it all.

Sometimes we hear it said that ten minutes on your knees will give you a truer, deeper, more operative knowledge of God than ten hours over your books. What! Than ten hours over your books on your knees?

B. B. WarfieldB. B. Warfield If we compare the present state of the New Testament text with that of any other ancient writing, we must… declare it to be marvelously correct.

The New Testament is unrivaled among ancient writings in the purity of its test as actually transmitted and kept in use.

B. B. WarfieldB. B. Warfield It is never on account of its formal nature as a psychic act that faith is conceived in Scripture to be saving. It is not, strictly speaking, even faith in Christ that saves, but Christ that saves through faith. The saving power resides exclusively, not in the act of faith or the attitude of faith or nature of faith, but in the object of faith.

More on christ
Truly, there is a Christian note which makes the whole World vibrate, like an immense gong, in the divine Christ. This note is unique and universal, and in it alone consists the Gospel.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinPierre Teilhard de Chardin To say that Christ is the term and motive force of evolution, to say that he manifests himself as ‘evolver,’ is implicitly to recognize that he becomes attainable in and through the whole process of evolution.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinPierre Teilhard de Chardin I believe in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
Lou HoltzLou Holtz Certain though I am – and ever more certain – that I must press on in life as though Christ awaited me at the term of the universe, at the same time I feel no special assurance of the existence of Christ. Believing is not seeing. As much as anyone, I imagine, I walk in the shadows of faith.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinPierre Teilhard de Chardin I find that my upbringing in the Church and my relationship with God are huge benefits to me in helping me become the kind of person that I want to become.
Tony FinauTony Finau Everything I do is deeply rooted in my faith and especially in Jesus Christ.
Tony FinauTony Finau You will be that inevitably–but primarily we are saved in order to be conformed to the likeness of Jesus Christ, God’s Son.
