“Jesus does not give recipes that show the way to God as other teachers of religion do. He is Himself the way”
― Karl Barth

“Scripture ... does not derive its authority from the fact that we use it, not even when we use Scripture in faith.”
― G C Berkouwer

“In Scripture the election of God ... does not come out of works but out of grace. God's electing plan prepares the way of salvation in which man learns that salvation is obtained only as a divine gift an never as an acquisiton because of good works.”
― G C Berkouwer

“Faith is decisively determined by the object of faith, namely, God and His Word. This does not ... imply that Scripture ... derives its authority from the believer's faith: this idea is already rendered untenable by the very nature of faith, which rests on and trusts in the Word of God.”
― G.C. Berkouwer
