The essence of Christianity

“The essence of the Christian religion consists in this: that the creation of the Father, devastated by sin, is restored in the death of the Son of God, and recreated by the Holy Spirit into the kingdom of God.”

- Herman Bavinck, as quoted by Michael D. Williams in Far As the Curse is Found (Phillipsburg, NJ: P&R Publishing, 2005), xi.
