“The Holy Spirit does not lead us into error but into the pathways of truth. The Spirit, with this special concern, has not failed and will not fail in this mystery of God-breathed Scripture.”
― G C Berkouwer

“When the concept of error in the sense of incorrectness is used on the same level as the concept of erring in the sense of sin and deception, we are quite far removed from the serious manner with which erring is dealt in Scripture as a swerving from the truth and upsetting the faith (2 Tim. 2:18).”
― G C Berkouwer

“I know men who, from head to feet, are so ministerial in their dress that no particle of manhood is visible. An individual who has no geniality about him had better be an undertaker, and bury the dead, for he will never succeed in influencing the living. I commend cheerfulness to all who would win souls; not levity and frothiness, but a genial, happy spirit.”
― C H Spurgeon

“The confession of the testimony of the Spirit was not intended to give a rational and theoretical solution or explanation to the relationship between Word and Spirit ... the mystery of Word and Spirit remains unfathomable ... Every attempt to somehow clarify the mystery remains revealingly unsatisfactory ... The mystery cuts across every exclusive formulation.”
― G.C. Berkouwer
