“It is not as a child that I believe and confess Jesus Christ. My hosanna is born of a furnace of doubt.”

“I shut my eyes tight in the darkness. "I believe in Jesus Christ," I said. "With God all things are possible.”

“One of the things that Christmas reminds us is that Jesus Christ was once a child.”

“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.”

“I commend my soul into the hands of God, my Creator, hoping andassuredly believing, through the only merits of Jesus Christ, mySaviour, to be made partaker of life everlasting.”

“[O]nly if the form of Christ can be lived out in the community of the church is the confession of the church true; only if Christ can be practiced is Jesus Lord. No matter how often the subsequent history of the church belied this confession, it is this presence within time of an eschatological and dvine peace, really incarnate in the person of Jesus and forever imparted to the body of Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit, that remains the very essence of the church's evangelical appeal to the world at large, and of the salvation it proclaims.
