New Testament Church Quotes

“The Christian life is both a gift and a task. God through his Spirit gives not only the demands but also the power of living the transformed life.”
― Everett Ferguson, The New Testament Church

“This is the essence of the Christian’s life: to live out what has been given to him in his baptism.”
― Everett Ferguson, The New Testament Church

“Baptism is a “putting to death” of the old person, a “putting off” of the old manner of life, a dying with Christ, a being buried with Christ. It is also a being “raised…to newness of life,” a “putting on,” a “being made alive” with him. We are united with Christ so that what happened to him historically happens to us spiritually and anticipates what will happen actually at his coming again.”
― Everett Ferguson, The New Testament Church

“The Christian sees Jesus as a fulfillment of all these pictures of the Messiah. He is son of David, God manifest in the flesh, the supernatural or heavenly man, and the ideal prophet, priest, and king.”
― Everett Ferguson, The New Testament Church
