As the wise men from the East placed their gifts at the feet of the child in Bethlehem, so, in the opinion of the church fathers, philosophy was the servant of theology. —Herman Bavinck Reformed Dogmatics 1.608
Justification means free righteousness before God through faith in Jesus Christ. —John Calvin Institutes of the Christian Religion 3.11.4
[The early Christians] firmly believed that the earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof; and they considered themselves the new humanity in which Jew and Greek found their unity and destination. —Herman Bavinck The Philosophy of Revelation: The Stone Lectures
God is to be worshipped not merely with the inward affection of the heart, but also by outward profession, if we would render to him what is his due. —John Calvin Commentary on Philippians 2:5
The promises of [the Law] show God’s approbation of obedience, and what blessings [true believers] may expect upon the performance thereof, although not as due to them by the law as a covenant of works. —Westminster Confession 19.6
Nothing is more difficult than to forsake all carnal thoughts, to subdue and renounce our false appetites, and to devote ourselves to God and our brethren. —John Calvin Golden Booklet of the True Christian Life
Grace is opposed not to nature, only to sin. In its real sense, [grace] was not necessary in the case of Adam before the fall but has only become necessary as a result of sin. —Herman Bavinck Reformed Dogmatics 3.577
If the Lord has willed that we be helped in physics, dialectic, mathematics, and other like disciplines, by the work and ministry of the ungodly, let us use this assistance. —John Calvin Institutes of the Christian Religion 2.2.16
There is a certain light of nature remaining in man after the fall, by virtue of which he retains some notions about God, natural things, and the difference between what is moral and immoral, and demonstrates a certain eagerness for virtue. Canons of Dort 3.4.4
Man must be twice converted, first from the natural to the spiritual life, and then from the spiritual to the natural. —Herman Bavinck The Philosophy of Revelation: The Stone Lectures
A religion confined to the closet, the cell, or the church, therefore, Calvin abhors. —Abraham Kuyper
Christ suffered sufficiently for the whole world, but efficiently only for the elect. —John Calvin Commentary on 1 John 2:2
Although we are baptized only once, yet the gain that it symbolizes to us reaches over our whole lives and to our death, so that we have a lasting witness that Jesus Christ will always be our justification and sanctification. —French Confession, Article 35
Man can, and is in duty bound to strive for ever-increasing sanctification by using the means which God has placed at his disposal…Consistent Antinomians lose sight of this important truth. —Louis Berkhof
Whatever the political future of Israel as a nation, the real ekklēsia, the people of God, transcends ethnic boundaries. —Herman Bavinck Reformed Dogmatics 4.664
Bavinck [was] a theologian drawn both to the historic Reformed tradition and the needs of the late modern age. —James Eglinton @DrJamesEglinton
We cannot be in union with Christ without at the same time being involved in the process of sanctification, whereby Christ through his Spirit makes us progressively more like himself. —Anthony Hoekema
True, unfeigned faith breaks off our false self-confidence, knocks our pride off its pedestal, and makes an end of all self-righteousness. —Herman Bavinck The Wonderful Works of God
The visible church…consists of all those throughout the world that profess the true religion; and of their children: and is the kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ. —Westminster Confession of Faith 25.2

“The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak” (Matt 26:41). Since we feel in us some good will, and God has already set us on the way, and has extended to us His hand, may we experience that He really governs us by His Holy Spirit.
If you are preaching through John, then Cyril’s commentary is a must. Beautiful example of how to read a Gospel theologically. Much orthodoxy here. My @CredoMagazine Book of the week.
