“We shall never have vital contact with Jesus if we attend to His person and neglect the message; for it is the message which makes Him ours.”
― J. Gresham Machen, Christianity and Liberalism

“God does not simply work in spite of our weakness, but because of it. He says that his saving power does not work when we are strong or think we are strong—but rather, when we are weak, and know we are.”
― Timothy J. Keller, Judges For You

“According to Christian belief, Jesus is our Saviour, not by virtue of what He said, not even by virtue of what He was, but by what He did. He is our Saviour, not because He has inspired us to live the same kind of life that He lived, but because He took upon Himself the dreadful guilt of our sins and bore it instead of us on the cross. Such is the Christian conception of the Cross of Christ.”
― J. Gresham Machen, Christianity and Liberalism

“The very basis of the religion of Jesus was a triumphant belief in the real existence of a personal God.
And without that belief no type of religion can rightly appeal to Jesus to-day. Jesus was a theist, and rational theism is at the basis of Christianity.”
― J. Gresham Machen, Christianity and Liberalism
