 Since no man is excluded from calling upon God the gate of salvation is open to all. There is nothing else to hinder us from entering, but our own unbelief. Author: John Calvin |
| It is as absurd to argue men, as to torture them, into believing. Author: John Henry Newman |
| If there be ground for you to trust in your own righteousness, then, all that Christ did to purchase salvation, and all that God did to prepare the way for it is in vain. Author: Jonathan Edwards |

| No one can be saved - in virtue of what he can do. Everyone can be saved - in virtue of what God can do. Author: Karl Barth |
| If I was to ask you tonight if you were saved? Do you say 'Yes, I am saved'. When? 'Oh so and so preached, I got baptized and...' Are you saved? What are you saved from, hell? Are you saved from bitterness? Are you saved from lust? Are you saved from cheating? Are you saved from lying? Are you saved from bad manners? Are you saved from rebellion against your parents? Come on, what are you saved from? Author: Leonard Ravenhill |

| If ever a monk could get to heaven through monastic discipline, I was that monk. And yet my conscience would not give me certainty, but I always doubted and said, 'You didn't do that right. You weren't contrite enough. You left that out of your confession.' The more I tried to remedy an uncertain, weak, and troubled conscience with human traditions, the more I daily found it more uncertain, weaker, and more troubled. Author: Martin Luther |
| Is it not wonderful news to believe that salvation lies outside ourselves? Author: Martin Luther |
| If ever a man could be saved by monkery, that man was I. Author: Martin Luther |

| We may sing beforehand, even in our winter storm, in the expectation of a summer sun at the turn of the year; no created powers can mar our Lord Jesus' music, nor spill our song of joy. Let us then be glad and rejoice in the salvation of our Lord; for faith had never yet cause to have wet cheeks, and hanging-down brows, or to droop or die. Author: Samuel Rutherford |
