“The agony of a man’s affliction is often necessary to put him into the right mood to face the fundamental things of life.” (source)
“No man can do wrong in his heart and see right afterwards. If I am going to approach the holy ground, I must get into the right frame of mind—the excellency of a broken heart.” (source)
“The basis of things, according to the Bible, is tragic, and the way out is the way made by God in Redemption, not by intellect or by reason.” (source)
“Redemption is a moral thing, Jesus Christ does not merely save from hell; ‘He shall save his people from their sins,’ i.e., make totally new moral men. Jesus Christ did not come to give us pretty ideas of God, or sympathy with ourselves; He came from a holy God to enable men, by the sheer power of His Redemption, to become holy.” (source)
“God, in forgiving a man, gives him the heredity of His own Son, i.e., He turns him into the standard of the Forgiver. Forgiveness is a revelation—hope for the hopeless; that is the message of the Gospel.” (source)
