KARL BARTH AND GOD

"Christian faith, to be sure, is an event in the mystery  between God and man; the event of the freedom in which God acts towards this man, and the freedom which God gives this man." (Barth, 1959, 123)

"Faith is God's mystery breaking forth . Faith is God's freedom and man's freedom in action."  (Ibid, 123)                                       

"God Himself is not supra historical but historical, and this God has in Himself  made a decree, an eternal decree, upon which everything rests of which the confession of faith speaks . Our fathers called it the decree of creation and of the covenant and of redemption." (Ibid, 123)                                                 

 Faith is obedience, not just passive accommodation of oneself. Where there is obedience there is choice on man's part; faith is chosen instead of its opposite, unbelief, trust instead of distrust, knowledge instead of ignorance.(Ibid,125)

God Himself is He who did not wish to remain hidden, who did not wish to be God for Himself alone. He is the God who in His royal majesty emerges from the mystery, from the heights of His divine existence and comes down to the humble estate of the universe created by Him. (Ibid,125)
