Sinclair B. Ferguson Quotes About Theology

Quotes about: Theology

• It is God who gives us the spirit of worship (Psalm 133:3), and it is what we know of God that produces this spirit of worship.

• This, then, is the foundation of sanctification in Reformed theology. It is rooted, not in humanity and their achievement of holiness or sanctification, but in what God has done in Christ, and for us in union with him. Rather than view Christians first and foremost in the microcosmic context of their own progress, the Reformed doctrine first of all sets them in the macrocosm of God's activity in redemptive history. It is seeing oneself in this context that enables the individual Christian to grow in true holiness.
