Karl Barth
-

Christian study is not the attempt to master God. It is the grace of being mastered by God’s Word. In a time of loud religious opinions, doctrinal pride, and tribal loyalty, the church needs believers who can listen before they speak. True study begins with humility, passes through prayer, and ends in obedience to Christ.
-
Theology should make us humble before God, not proud of our own certainty. When doctrine becomes a badge of superiority rather than a witness to Christ, theology no longer trembles. It begins to possess, control, and condemn. But true theology stands under the Word, speaks with humility, and points beyond itself to Jesus Christ.
