Daily Christian quotes to direct, inspire, encourage, and help ordinary Christians in the rough and tumble of their daily lives!
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.
— Benjamin B. Warfield
Only he who believes is obedient; only he who is obedient believes.
— Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Faith acquires what the Law requires; nay, the Law requires, in order that faith may acquire what is thus required; nay, more, God demands of us faith itself, and finds not what he thus demands, until by giving he makes it possible to find it.
Augustine of Hippo
Faith is not a work which Christ condescends in the gospel to accept instead of perfect obedience as the ground of salvation – it is only the hand whereby we clasp the person and work of our Redeemer, which is the true ground of salvation.
— A. A. Hodge
