“The confessions matter, because they “guide the church in its study and interpretation of Scripture, . . . summarize the essence of Christian tradition, . . . direct the church in maintaining sound doctrine, [and] equip the church for its work of proclamation” (G-2.0100).”
― John P. Burgess, Confessing Our Faith: The Book of Confessions for Church Leaders

“Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God" (Rom. 5:1-2).”
― R.C. Sproul, The Holiness of God

“Some people think they can imagine a creature which was free but had no possibility of going wrong; I cannot. If a thing is free to be good it is also free to be bad. And free will is what has made evil possible. Why, then, did God give them free will? Because free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having. A world of automata—of creatures that worked like machines—would hardly be worth creating.”
― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

“The poor, who have nothing in themselves, to them comes the kingdom. The meek, who seek nothing in themselves, will inherit the earth. The blessings of heaven and earth are for the lowly. For the heavenly and the earthly life, humility is the secret of blessing.”
― Andrew Murray, Humility: The Beauty of Holiness
