Barth Quotes on Scripture

3/5/2019

0 Comments

 
Rereading Bloesch's volume on "The Church" in his systematic theology.  There is a very interesting section entitled "The Church in the Plan of Salvation."  I don't want to cover the whole thing here.  What I would like to do is to put some Barth quotes out there that help to understand where Barth is coming from in relation to faith, salvation, and the church itself.

"Even so, Barth never broke completely with his earlier sacramental view, for he continued to hold that the sacramental sign in the ordinances of baptism and the Lord's Supper give the certainty of grace.  IT is not a cause of faith but a confirmation of faith" (54).

"Faith is not the cause of salvation but the sign that salvation has been fully accomplished and enacted in Jesus Christ" (55).

"Barth attributed the inward certainty of our salvation that is imported through sacrament observance to the work of the Holy 
Spirit within us" (56).
