Henri Frederic Amiel Quotes

Jesus isn't a logo, I'm not promoting some company, some brand. I'm just professing my faith.

Jesus said, "I am the way to heaven." I'm betting that he's not a liar. I'm betting that he told the truth.

I have been told that I need to believe in Jesus. Which is a good thing. But what I am learning is that Jesus believes in me.

I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it, I see everything else.

You can be a follower of Jesus and not necessarily be a Christian.

In my whole life, Jesus is in first place. That's why I put that inside my cleats, Jesus in first place, because that is how I think.

I can't believe in Christianity, but I think Jesus was a wonderful teacher.

As long as you find something beautiful, good, and true to believe in and abide by, you have the equivalent of God in your life.

Start believing the Word of God over our feelings. The truth always overrides our feelings. Find the truth in the scriptures.

As believers in Jesus Christ, our work is to believe while God works on our behalf.

If you believe, take the first step, it leads to Jesus Christ. If you don't believe, take the first step all the same, for you are bidden to take it.

Anything you think you know about about God, that you can't find in the person of Jesus, you have reason to question.

Many great people over the centuries have depended on their faith- it is a sign of great strength to need Jesus in your life.

Faith is not a blind thing; for faith begins with knowledge. It is not a speculative thing; for faith believes facts of which it is sure. It is not an unpractical, dreamy thing; for faith trusts, and stakes its destiny upon the truth of revelation.

Christianity is not a patent medicine. Christianity claims to give an account of facts - to tell you what the real universe is like. Its account of the universe may be true, or it may not, and once the question is really before you, then your natural inquisitiveness must make you want to know the answer. If Christianity is untrue, then no honest man will want to believe it, however helpful it might be: if it is true, every honest man will want to believe it, even if it gives him no help at all.

I believe I am not mistaken in saying that Christianity is a demanding and serious religion. When it is delivered as easy and amusing, it is another kind of religion altogether.

I believe certain doctrines because God says they are true; and the only authority I have for their truth is the Word of God. I receive such and such doctrines, not because I can prove them to be compatible with reason, not because my judgment accepts them, but because God says they are true. Now this is one of the best services we can render to God,-to submit ourselves to him in our belief of what he has revealed, and ask him to fix his truths in our hearts, and make us obey them.

You have to say, whatever it is that I say or do or think or teach must be something that will be consistent with who Jesus Christ was. So that is your ultimate litmus test, not that you've got specific words to say, whatever they may be saying. It is what is being said. They're consistent with the revelation of God that we encounter in Jesus.

It is an irrational claim to believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ and at the same time to hold that the greater part of his teachings have no application at the present time. If you say that the reason why the powers do not follow them that believe (as Christ said they would) is because you have not faith enough and are not pure enough-that will be all right. But to say that they have no application at the present time is to be ridiculous.

In that moment of salvation, of belief, they are opening their lives to the person of Jesus.

If we get it wrong about Jesus, it doesn’t matter what else we get right.

You can be born-again and believe in Jesus, believe in Jesus' ideas and try to live them out, without becoming totally intolerant of other people.

Do not believe in telling people of one's faith, especially with a view to conversion. Faith must be lived, and when it is, it becomes self-propagating

We are not saved by what Jesus taught, and we are certainly not saved by what we understand Jesus to have taught. We are saved by Jesus Himself.

Jesus didn't come to merely speak words that were true, He is the Word that makes us true.
