“We receive Christ and the Scriptures by faith. Faith reaches out in a single act to the person of Christ as well as to Scripture. It embraces Christ as Savior and Scripture as the Word of God.”
Herman Bavinck
Luther said – “the Scriptures are the cradles in which Jesus Christ lies.”
In the death of our Lord Jesus Christ our judgment has been rendered, and in his resurrection, our glorification has been secured.
The Lord Jesus Christ is the great unifying theme of the Word of God, not because He is a word among many, but because He is the only Word. Thus, He is supreme to us.
Calvin says that the chief thing of the gospel is that Christ is given to us and that in him is life.
(Titus Commentary. p. 286)
Thomas Boston (1676 – 1732) says: “When Christ apprehends a man by His Spirit, he is so drawn that he comes away to Christ with his whole heart: for true believing is believing with all the heart.”
(Human Nature in its Fourfold State, p. 283)
