Quote by John R.W. Stott

“My text doesn’t say, “being justified by faith, we feel we are at peace with God.” It doesn’t say that. It says, “we have peace with God.” It’s not a feeling. It’s a fact. Peace with God is not an emotional state of religious euphoria. If it were, we would be in a very precarious position, since our emotions ebb and flow like the tides of the sea. But it isn’t a feeling. It is a relationship, which is a stable relationship because God has established it through Jesus Christ and our fluctuating feelings can not alter it. Peace with God is an objective fact based upon an objective event: the death of Jesus Christ, and it’s these objectivities, these rocks, if our feet stand firmly upon them, which will rescue us from the shifting sands of subjectivity.”

“When, that evening, Vatanen slowly ski’d back from Vittumainen Ghyll to Laahkima Gorge, accompanied by his hare, he no longer thought about Kaartinen’s strange world. There was a half-moon, and the stars were glimmering faintly in the frozen evening. He had his own world, this one, and it was fine to be here, living alone in one’s own way. The hare ambled silently along the trail ahead of the skier, like a pathfinder. Vatanen sang to it.”
