Conversion turns us to the Word of God as our rule to walk by (Galatians 6:16), as our water to wash us (Psalm 119:9), as our fire to warm us (Luke 24:32), as our food to nourish us (Matthew 4:4) , and as our sword to fight with (Ephesians 6:17). (Henry Philip)

Christianity is a religion that rests on revelation: nobody would know the truth about God, or be able to relate to him in a personal way, had not God first acted to make himself known. (J.I. Packer)

The first mark of good theology is that it seeks to echo the divine Word as faithfully as it can...theology is for doxology and devotion--that is, the praise of God and the practice of godliness. (J.I. Packer)
