Top Highlights

“Our salvation is based on what our triune God has done for us, not on what we do for our triune God. This gives us a certainty non-Christian religions cannot give.” (Page 116)

“Moses covered his face so that the people couldn’t see the glory fading!” (Page 176)

“We live in a society that grants religious freedom. We don’t live in fear of being thrown to lions. However, we constantly face a permissiveness in our society that allows God’s Word to be challenged and altered. May we, like Daniel and Luther, be willing to stand up and confess what we know to be true.” (Page 78)

“Jesus waits (ἐκδεχόμενος) for his enemies to be made his footstool, not as if the outcome were still in doubt, not as if these enemies were victorious over him, not as if he were not yet seated at God’s right hand as the complete victor, but only from our point of view.” (Page 119)

“That judging takes place already in this life. As Jesus reminded Nicodemus, ‘Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son’ (Jn 3:18).” (Pages 116–117)
