[Karl Barth @k_barth]

God does not belong among the objects that we can ever subject to the process of our intuition, conception, and expression.

[Karl Barth @k_barth]

The person does not cry out for solutions but rather for redemption.

[Karl Barth @k_barth]

The doctrine of election is the sum of the gospel because of all words that can be said or heart it is the best: that God elects man.

[Karl Barth @k_barth]

*God* reveals Himself. He reveals Himself *through Himself*. He reveals *Himself*.

[Karl Barth @k_barth]

How difficult it is to take even the smallest steps with Christ in society with a pure heart and reverence for the holy!

[Karl Barth @k_barth]

Our praying is an attempt to speak to God. Our hearing is only an attempt. Our preaching is an attempt. But the attempt must be made.

[Karl Barth @k_barth]

He is Emmanuel, God with us, the living God who confronts us in His sovereign grace to make known to us the glad news that we belong to Him.

[Karl Barth @k_barth]

Jesus Christ is in our midst, He, the man in whom God himself has poured out His life for our sake.

[Karl Barth @k_barth]

There is a death which is the death of death: and this is the theme of the Gospel.

[Karl Barth @k_barth]

For your sake God was not content to be God but willed to become man; for you He emptied Himself that you may be exalted.

[Karl Barth @k_barth]

Indeed the God of Moses and Job, the awesome God of Gethsemane and Golgotha, is love.

[Karl Barth @k_barth]

In His love, our love celebrates its victory.

[Karl Barth @k_barth]

In the abundance of His love, God wished to be gracious to the sinner, merciful to the miserable, patient to the one who is lost.

[Karl Barth @k_barth]

We have nothing to fear in this world and everything to hope for.

[Karl Barth @k_barth]

The sovereignty of the Word of God is always the sovereignty of Jesus Christ.

[Karl Barth @k_barth]

Enjoying Christian freedom and being obedient to God’s command are the same thing.

[Karl Barth @k_barth]

Let the Christian truth speak for itself. If you try to start with an apologetic interest, you are lost.

[Karl Barth @k_barth]

A convinced Christian knows precisely that in reality no one walks freely wherever he likes!
