"All good, enduring reformation begins with ourselves and takes its starting point in one's own heart and life." Herman Bavinck from his book, The Christian Family.
"Dogmatics describes God's deeds for and in us; ethics describe what renewed human beings now do on the basis of and in the strength of these deeds.” Herman Bavinck, RD 1.26
“If God is not knowable, did not reveal himself, or does not even exist, not only dogmatics or theology but religion itself collapses, for it is built on the knowledge of God.” Herman Bavinck, RD 1.38
"Christianity does not introduce a single substantial foreign element into the creation. It creates no new cosmos but rather makes the cosmos new. It restores what was corrupted by sin. It atones the guilty and cures what is sick; the wounded it heals." Herman Bavinck, RD 1.19
"Grace does not remain outside or above or beside nature but rather permeates and wholly renews it. And thus nature, reborn by grace, will be brought to its highest revelation." Herman Bavinck, RD 1.19
"The essence of the Christian religion consists in the reality that the creation of the Father, ruined by sin, is restored in the death of the Son of God and recreated by the grace of the Holy Spirit into a kingdom of God." RD 1.18
