Vernon Howard Quotes

Jesus Christ, the condescension of divinity, and the exaltation of humanity.

The Son of God became man so that we might become God.

Fundamentalists believe Jesus was God becoming man. I believe that Jesus was man becoming God.

The reason why the Son of God took upon him our nature, was, the fall of our first parents.

I believe in God and his son, Jesus.

I'm a Christian and I believe in angels and God.

The world is God’s salvation.

The Christian "doctrines" are translations into our concepts and ideas of that which God has already expressed in language more adequate, namely the actual incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection

There is one subject in religion, about which you can never know too much. That subject is Jesus Christ the Lord.

Wherever we turn in the church of God, there is Jesus. He is the beginning, middle and end of everything to us.

The miracle of Jesus is himself, not what he said or did.

What Jesus did was not a mere example of something else, not a mere manifestation of some larger truth; it was itself the climactic event and fact of cosmic history. From then on everything is differentthe End came forward into the present in Jesus the Messiah

God sent Jesus to join the human experience, which means to make a lot of mistakes. Jesus didn't arrive here knowing how to walk. He had fingers and toes, confusion, sexual feelings, crazy human internal processes. He had the same prejudices as the rest of his tribe: he had to learn that the Canaanite woman was a person. He had to suffer the hardships and tedium and setbacks of being a regular person. If he hadn't the incarnation would mean nothing.

I do believe that the Kingdom of God is present wherever Jesus is king. That's my definition of the Kingdom of God.

And they will say kids need to know about Jesus so they won't smoke, drink, or dance, or go with girls that do, and all that kind of thing. And I kinda go, 'That's not why people need to know about Jesus. The only reason - The only possible excuse for talking about Jesus is because we need a Savior.'

We are not saved because we're good. We're good because we're saved.

Salvation is a gift given, not a bargain struck.
