Veni, Domine Jesu - Come, Lord Jesus

"Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.
By myself I have sworn; from my mouth has gone out in righteousness a word that shall not return:
To me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear allegiance." - Isaiah 45:22-23 (ESV)

"Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts" - Psalm 95:7b-8a (ESV)

"Blessed is the one whose transfression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
Blessed is the man against whom the LORD counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit." - Psalm 32:1-2 (ESV)

J. Gresham Machen - Christianity is dependent upon history

It is the connection of the present experience of the believer with an actual historic appearance of Jesus in the world which prevents our religion from being mysticism and causes it to be Christianity.

It must certainly be admitted, then, that Christianity does depend upon something that happened; our religion must be abandoned altogether unless at a definite point in history Jesus died as a propitiation for the sins of men. Christianity is certainly dependent upon history.
