Hope is the positive mode of awaiting the future.
Emil Brunner
The Revelation of God is not a book or a doctrine, but a living Person.
Emil Brunner
So long as we stand under the Law, we cannot perceive this hidden unity of all the commandments. It is part of legalism that the will of God must appear to it as a multiplicity of commandments. In actual fact, it is one and indivisible God wants nothing else except love because He Himself is love.
Emil Brunner
The Church exists by mission, just as a fire exists by burning. Where there is no mission there is no Church and where there is neither Church nor mission, there is no faith.
Emil Brunner
The more that man is able to distinguish himself from the rest of creation, the more he becomes conscious of himself as subject, as an I, to whom the whole world is Object, the more does he tend to confuse himself with God, to confuse his spirit with the Spirit of God.
Emil Brunner
What oxygen is to the lungs, such is hope to the meaning of life.
