“A Christian must lead a life of sanctification. In everything he does—the farmer on the field, the merchant in his business, the clerk at his desk, the laborer on his job—he is moved by his love to God through Christ. And again, in everything a Christian does, he is moved by love toward his neighbor, doing all his work in order to serve his fellowmen.” (Page 129)
“If we say anything at all about God’s essence and the intratrinitarian relation, we do so because we dare not remain silent where the Scriptures plainly speak.” (Page 15)
“person’ denotes an ego, a center of self-consciousness and self-determination” (Page 14)
“The Word carries the power of kindling faith in itself. That” (Page 159)
“When we say that Baptism is necessary to salvation, we do not wish to be understood as though God could not save anyone without this sacrament.” (Page 128)

Something the ELCA should revisit but they seem to be far from what is found in this book.
