Quotes from George R. Knight

Aun los mejores hombres, si actúan por sí mismos, cometerán graves equivocaciones. Mientras mayores responsabilidades se coloquen sobre el agente humano, mientras más encumbrado sea su cargo para determinar y controlar, más males hará con seguridad pervirtiendo mentes y corazones si no sigue cuidadosamente el camino del Señor.

All too often Christians look at morality from the negative viewpoint. Christian growth does not come from what we don't do. It is rather a product of what we actively do in our daily lives. The Christian ethic is a positive ethic, and the Christian life, as an expression of that ethic, is a positive, active existence.

Romans is the most influential document in Christian history. It stimulated not only the Protestant Reformation but many other revivals throughout history.

El plan de salvación no ofrece a los creyentes una vida libre de sufrimientos y pruebas antes de llegar al Reino; por el contrario, les pide que sigan a Cristo en la misma senda de abnegación y vituperio. [...] Por medio de estas pruebas y persecuciones, el carácter de Cristo se reproduce y se revela en su pueblo. [...] Nuestra participación en los sufrimientos de Cristo nos educa y disciplina, y nos prepara para compartir la gloria del mundo venidero" (CBA 6:565).

God's "wrath only goes forth because God is Love, and because sin is that which injures His children and is opposed to the purpose of His love.

Paul repeatedly promises Christians that nothing can separate them from the love of that God who is "for" them.

there is nothing so offensive to God or so dangerous to the human soul as pride and self-sufficiency. Of all sins it is the most hopeless, the most incurable.

As Paul views the plan of salvation, he sets forth a mighty doxology in Romans 11:33–36. All he can do is praise God for all that He has done.

If man, as the existentialist conceives him, is indefinable, it is because at first he is nothing. Only afterward will he be something, and he himself will have made what he will be. Thus, there is no human nature, since there is no God to conceive it. Not only is man what he conceives himself to be, but he is also only what he wills himself to be after this thrust toward existence. Man is nothing else but what he makes of himself. Such is the first principle of existentialism.

La verdadera fe en Jesucristo es aceptarlo como Salvador, Sustituto, Garante y Señor. Es escoger su modo de vida. Es confiar en él y procurar vivir por fe conforme a sus mandamientos.
