Topics: Church, Salvation | | We need a quickening of faith; faith in the power of the God of Pentecost to convict and convert three thousand in a day. Faith, not in a process of culture by which we hope to train children into a state of salvation, but faith in the mighty God who can quicken a dead soul into life in a moment; faith in moral and spiritual revolution rather than evolution. Author: A.C. Dixon
Topics: Faith, Salvation | | In contradistinction to the Gospel of Christ, the gospel of Satan teaches salvation by works. Author: A.W. Pink
Topics: Satan, Salvation | | The gospel of Satan announces salvation by character, which reverses the order of God's Word--character by, as the fruit of, salvation. Author: A.W. Pink
Topics: Satan, Salvation | | The nature of Christ's salvation is woefully misrepresented by the present-day evangelist. He announces a Saviour from Hell rather than a Saviour from sin. And that is why so many are fatally deceived, for there are multitudes who wish to escape the Lake of fire who have no desire to be delivered from their carnality and worldliness. Author: A.W. Pink
Topics: Salvation, Heresy, Carnality | | Salvation is from our side a choice, from the divine side it is a seizing upon, an apprehending, a conquest by the Most High God. Our "accepting" and "willing" are reactions rather than actions. The right of determination must always remain with God. Author: A.W. Tozer

| | Salvation apart from obedience is unknown in the sacred Scriptures... Apart from obedience there can be no salvation, for salvation without obedience is a self-contradictory impossibility. Author: A.W. Tozer
Topics: Obedience | | Christ is the very epitome of innocence, and without the blood of Christ, shed on Calvary, God's plan of salvation would not have been fulfilled. Author: Alan Keyes
Topics: Salvation | | Surely scripture is right when it makes the sin of sins that unbelief, which is at bottom nothing else than a refusal to take the cup of salvation. Surely no sharper grief can be inflicted upon the Spirit of God than when we leave His gifts neglected and unappropriated. Author: Alexander MacLaren
Topics: Unbelief | | The cup which my Saviour giveth me, can it be anything but a cup of salvation? Author: Alexander MacLaren
Topics: Salvation | | The protestant martyrs and their monuments testify to the fact that they died, not on account of ecclesial differences, but because the issue was the way of salvation. Author: Alistair Begg
Topics: Salvation | | Salvation comes through a cross and a crucified Christ. Author: Andrew Murray
Topics: Salvation, The Cross | As our Lord asked the sick man whether he wished to be healed, so, without our consent, He will not save us; and sinners are without excuse for not consenting to the will of the Lord and their own salvation.
- Cardinal Bonaventura Author: Assorted Authors
Topics: Salvation, Healing, Illness | | If thou sin, the word of God is thy adversary. It is the adversary of thy will till it become the author of thy salvation. Author: Augustine
Topics: Scripture, Salvation | | Salvation is God's way of making us real people. Author: Augustine
Topics: Salvation | | To be assured of our salvation is no arrogant stoutness. It is faith. It is devotion. It is not presumption. It is God's promise. Author: Augustine
Topics: Assurance | | The one is addressed generally to all intelligent creatures, and is therefore accessible to all men; the other is addressed to a special class of sinners, to whom God would make known His salvation. The one has in view to meet and supply the natural need of creatures for knowledge of their God; the other to rescue broken and deformed sinners from their sin and its consequences. Author: B.B. Warfield

Topics: Evangelism | | The greatest enemy to human souls is the self-righteous spirit which makes men look to themselves for salvation. Author: Charles Spurgeon
Topics: Self-righteousness | | Any church which puts in the place of justification by faith in Christ another method of salvation is a harlot church. Author: Charles Spurgeon
Topics: Justification, Heresy | | From the Word of God I gather that damnation is all of man, from top to bottom, and salvation is all of grace, from first to last. He that perishes chooses to perish; but he that is saved is saved because God has chosen to save him. Author: Charles Spurgeon
Topics: Salvation, Grace | | I learn from the Scriptures that repentance is just as necessary to salvation as faith is, and the faith that has not repentance going with it will have to be repented of. Author: Charles Spurgeon
Topics: Repentance | | I take it that the highest proof of Christ's power is not that He offers salvation, not that He bids you take it if you will, but that when you reject it, when you hate it, when you despise it, He has a power whereby he can change your mind, make you think differently from your former thoughts, and turn you from the error of your ways. Author: Charles Spurgeon
Topics: Conviction | | If anyone should ask me what I mean by a Calvinist, I should reply, "He is one who says, Salvation is of the Lord." I cannot find in Scripture any other doctrine than this. It is the essence of the Bible. Author: Charles Spurgeon

Topics: Salvation | | Let this be to you the mark of true Gospel preaching - where Christ is everything, and the creature is nothing; where it is salvation all of grace, through the work of the Holy Spirit applying to the soul the precious blood of Jesus. Author: Charles Spurgeon
Source: Sermons, 42.586.
Topics: Salvation | | Not that our salvation should be the effect of our work, but our work should be the evidence of our salvation. Author: Charles Spurgeon
Topics: Salvation, Service | | There are two great truths which from this platform I have proclaimed for many years. The first is that salvation is free to every man who will have it; the second is that God gives salvation to a people whom He has chosen; and these truths are not in conflict with each other in the least degree. Author: Charles Spurgeon
Topics: Salvation | | We say that Christ so died that He infallibly secured the salvation of a multitude that no man can number, who through Christ's death not only may be saved, but are saved, must be saved, and cannot by any possibility run the hazard of being anything but saved. Author: Charles Spurgeon
Topics: Salvation | | You will find all true theology summed up in these two short sentences: Salvation is all of the grace of God. Damnation is all of the will of man. Author: Charles Spurgeon
Topics: Theology, Salvation | | I think there are many who would like to be saved but have been presented the faulty idea that repentance is turning from sin and therefore they are convinced that they cannot be saved. Oh, if we would only make salvation plain and explain to men that we are not saved by doing anything; rather we are saved by trusting in what Jesus has already done. Author: Curtis Hutson
Topics: Salvation, Repentance | | I am glad when I see someone troubled over his sins, but we must be very careful in presenting the plan of salvation not to insist that a person have a certain degree of sorrow before he can be saved. That is not repentance, and such a requirement for salvation is not found in the Bible. Author: Curtis Hutson
Topics: Repentance | | Faith and repentance are the same; they are not two separate decisions. One cannot trust Christ as Saviour without repenting or changing his mind. The very fact that he trusts Christ for salvation shows that he has changed his mind regarding sin, salvation, and God. Author: Curtis Hutson
Topics: Faith, Repentance | | The thief had nails through both hands, so that he could not work; and a nail through each foot, so that he could not run errands for the Lord; he could not lift a hand or a foot toward his salvation, and yet Christ offered him the gift of God; and he took it. Christ threw him a passport, and took him into Paradise. Author: D.L. Moody

Topics: Salvation | | Salvation is worth working for. It is worth a man's going round the world on his hands and knees, climbing its mountains, crossing its valleys, swimming its rivers, going through all manner of hardship in order to attain it. But we do not get it in that way. It is to him who believes. Author: D.L. Moody
Topics: Salvation | | I believe hundreds of Christian people are being deceived by Satan now on this point, that they have not got the assurance of salvation just because they are not willing to take God at His word. Author: D.L. Moody
Topics: Assurance | | What can botanists tell you of the lily of the valley? You must study this book for that. What can geologists tell you of the Rock of Ages, or mere astronomers about the Bright Morning Star? In those pages we find all knowledge unto salvation; here we read of the ruin of man by nature, redemption by the blood, and regeneration by the Holy Ghost. These three things run all through and through them. Author: D.L. Moody
Topics: The Bible | | A man who has not realized what the blood has done for him has not the token of salvation. It is told of Julian, the apostate, that while he was fighting he received an arrow in his side. He pulled it out, and, taking a handful of blood threw it into the air and cried, "Galilean, Galilean, thou hast conquered." Author: D.L. Moody
Topics: Salvation | | Believing and confessing go together; and you cannot be be saved without you take them both. "With the mouth confession is made unto salvation." If you ever see the kingdom of heaven you have to take this way. Author: D.L. Moody
Topics: Believing, Confession | | The grace of God hath power to bring salvation to all men, and if a man is unsaved it is because he wants to work it out; he wants to receive salvation in some other way than God's way; but we are told that "he that climbeth up another way, the same is a thief and a robber." Author: D.L. Moody
Topics: Salvation | | A great many people want to bring their faith, their works, their good deeds to Him for salvation. Bring your sins, and He will bear them away into the wilderness of forgetfulness, and you will never see them again. Author: D.L. Moody
Topics: Forgiveness | | Do you believe that He would send those men out to preach the gospel to every creature unless he wanted every creature to be saved? Do you believe He would tell them to preach it to people without giving people the power to accept it? Do you believe the God of heaven is mocking men by offering them his gospel and not giving them the power to take hold of it? Do you believe He will not give men power to accept this salvation as a gift? Man might do that, but God never mocks men. And when he says "Preach the gospel to every creature," every creature can be saved if he will. Author: D.L. Moody
Topics: Salvation | | To attempt to pay for salvation with church membership, prayers, or good deeds is an insult to Christ, who paid the full price--and is a rejection of the gift of God's grace. Author: Dave Hunt
Topics: Salvation, Pride | | We are a long time in learning that all our strength and salvation is in God. Author: David Brainerd
Topics: Strength, Contentment, Learning | | Faith, and hope, and patience and all the strong, beautiful, vital forces of piety are withered and dead in a prayerless life. The life of the individual believer, his personal salvation, and personal Christian graces have their being, bloom, and fruitage in prayer. Author: E.M. Bounds
Topics: Prayer, Piety, Patience | | How often God takes away our consolations, that we may only love Him for Himself; and reveals our sinfulness, that we may better appreciate the completeness of his salvation! Author: F.B. Meyer
Topics: Sin, Salvation | | The certainty of our salvation rests on the character of God. Author: F.B. Meyer
Topics: Salvation | | Paul's claim [was] that the message he preached was the authentic gospel of Christ. It is this: two things on which Paul pre-eminently insisted - that salvation was provided by God's grace and that faith was the means by which men appropriated it. Author: F.F. Bruce
Source: Paul - Apostle of the Heart Set Free
Topics: The Gospel | | If thou wouldst be justified, acknowledge thine injustice. He that confesses his sin, begins his journey toward salvation. He that is sorry for it, mends his pace. He that forsakes it, is at his journey's end. Author: Francis Quarles
Topics: Salvation, Repentance, Justification | | In these two things the greatness of man consists, to have God so dwelling in us as to impart his character to us, and to have him so dwelling in us that we recognize his presence, and know that we are his, and he is ours. The one is salvation: the other the assurance of it. Author: Frederick W. Robertson
Topics: Character, Holy Spirit, Assurance | | Christians do not practically remember that while we are saved by grace, altogether by grace, so that in the matter of salvation works are altogether excluded; yet that so far as the rewards of grace are concerned, in the world to come, there is an intimate connection between the life of the Christian here and the enjoyment and the glory in the day of Christ's appearing. Author: George Mueller

Topics: Grace | | And now let me address all of you, high and low, rich and poor, one with another, to accept of mercy and grace while it is offered to you; Now is the accepted time, now is the day of salvation; and will you not accept it, now it is offered unto you? Author: George Whitefield
Topics: Salvation | | God has condescended to become an author, and yet people will not read his writings. There are very few that ever gave this Book of God, the grand charter of salvation, one fair reading through. Author: George Whitefield

Topics: Scripture | | The martyrs to vice far exceed the martyrs to virtue, both in endurance and in number. So blinded are we to our passions, that we suffer more to insure perdition than salvation. Author: Hannah More
Topics: Virtue, Apathy, Endurance | | Sight is not faith, and hearing is not faith, neither is feeling faith; but believing when we neither see, hear, nor feel is faith; and everywhere the Bible tells us our salvation is to be by faith. Therefore we must believe before we feel, and often against our feelings, if we would honor God by our faith. Author: Hannah Whitall Smith
Topics: Believing, Feelings | | Neglect does more for the soul than make it miss salvation. It despoils it of its capacity for salvation. Author: Henry Drummond
Source: Natural Law, Degeneration, p. 110.
Topics: Apathy | | Each man, in the silence of his own soul, must work out this salvation for himself with fear and trembling--with fear, realizing the momentous issues of his task; with trembling, lest, before the tardy work be done, the voice of Death should summon him to stop. Author: Henry Drummond
Source: Natural Law, Degeneration, p. 118.
Topics: Salvation | | Just because God worketh in him, as the evidence and triumph of it, the true child of God works out his own salvation--works it out having really received it--not as a light thing, a superfluous labour, but with fear and trembling as a reasonable and indispensable service. Author: Henry Drummond
Source: Natural Law, p. 335.
Topics: Salvation | | The natural life, not less than the eternal, is the gift of God. But life in either case is the beginning of growth and not the end of grace. To pause where we should begin, to retrograde where we should advance, to seek a mechanical security that we may cover inertia and find a wholesale salvation in which there is no personal sanctification--this is Parasitism. Author: Henry Drummond
Source: Natural Law, p. 336.
Topics: Eternal Life | | Salvation is a definite process. If a man refuse to submit himself to that process, clearly he cannot have the benefits of it. "As many as received Him to them gave He power to become the sons of God." He does not avail himself of this power. It may be mere carelessness or apathy. Nevertheless the neglect is fatal. He cannot escape because he will not. Author: Henry Drummond
Source: Natural Law, p. 109.
Topics: Salvation | | To be born again is, as it were, to enter upon a new existence, to have a new mind, a new heart, new views, new principles, new tastes, new affections, new likings, new dislikings, new fears, new joys, new sorrows, new love to things once hated, new hatred to things once loved, new thoughts of God, and ourselves, and the world, and the life to come, and salvation. Author: J.C. Ryle
Topics: Conversion | | Calvary not merely made possible the salvation of those for whom Christ died; it ensured that they would be brought to faith and their salvation made actual. Author: J.I. Packer
Topics: The Cross | | Christians in revival are accordingly found living in God's presence (Coram Deo), attending to His Word, feeling acute concern about sin and righteousness, rejoicing in the assurance of Christ's love and their own salvation, spontaneously constant in worship, and tirelessly active in witness and service, fueling these activities by praise and prayer. Author: J.I. Packer
Source: Marks of Revival, Revival Commentary, v. 1, n. 1.
Topics: Revival | | When we pray for any virtue, we should cultivate the virtue as well as pray for it; the form of your prayer should be the rule of your life; every petition to God is a precept to man. Look not, therefore, upon your prayers as a method of good and salvation only, but as a perpetual monition of duty. By what we require of God we see what he requires of us. Author: Jeremy Taylor
Topics: Prayer, Virtue | | We could not take one step in the pursuit of holiness if God in His grace had not first delivered us from the dominion of sin and brought us into union with His risen Son. Salvation is by grace and sanctification is by grace. Author: Jerry Bridges
Topics: Sanctification, Salvation, Grace | | There are two 'courts' we must deal with: the court of God in Heaven and the court of conscience in our souls. When we first trust in Christ for salvation, God's court is forever satisfied. Never again will a charge of guilt be brought against us in Heaven. Our consciences, however, are continually pronouncing us guilty. That is the function of conscience. Therefore, we must by faith bring the verdict of conscience into line with the verdict of Heaven. We do this by agreeing with our conscience about our guilt, but then reminding it that our guilt has already been borne by Christ. Author: Jerry Bridges
Topics: Justice, Forgiveness, Conscience | | We tend to give an unbeliever just enough of the gospel to get him or her to pray a prayer to receive Christ. Then we immediately put the gospel on the shelf, so to speak, and go on to the duties of discipleship. The grace that brought salvation to you is the same grace that teaches or disciplines you. But you must respond on the basis of grace, not law. Author: Jerry Bridges
Topics: The Gospel, Grace, Discipleship | | I'm not knocking the poor homosexual, I'm not. They need salvation just like anybody else. Author: Jimmy Swaggart
Topics: Salvation | | 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
Topics: Salvation, Unbelief | | Justification is the main hinge on which salvation turns. Author: John Calvin
Topics: Justification | | Those who disrupt the body of Christ and split its unity into schisms are quite excluded from the hope of salvation, so long as they remain in dissidence of this kind. Author: John Calvin
Topics: Unity | | A dreadful thing is the love of money! It disables both eyes and ears, and makes men worse to deal with than a wild beast, allowing a man to consider neither conscience nor friendship nor fellowship nor salvation. Author: John Chrysostom
Topics: Money, Fellowship, Men | | The Bible is God's declaratory revelation to man containing the great truths about God, about man, about history, about salvation, and about prophecy that God wanted us to know. The Bible could be trusted just as much as if God had taken the pen and written the words Himself. Author: John F. Walvoord
Topics: The Bible | | This attitude of complete submission and complete trust is of course the key to working out our own salvation in fear and trembling and is the mark of a truly spiritual Christian. Author: John F. Walvoord
Topics: Submission | | The question in salvation is not whether Jesus is Lord, but whether we are submissive to His lordship. Author: John MacArthur
Topics: Submission | | Many are convinced, who are not truly enlightened; are afraid of the consequences of sin, though they never saw its evil; have a seeming desire of salvation, which is not founded upon a truly spiritual discovery of their own wretchedness, and the excellency of Jesus. Author: John Newton
Topics: Pride, Ignorance | | Your Lord is a God of mercy and bountifulness: be a source of mercy and bountifulness to your neighbours. If you will be such, you will find salvation yourself with everlasting glory. Author: John of Kronstadt
Topics: Mercy | | The enemy of our salvation especially strives to draw our heart and mind away from God when we are about to serve Him, and endeavours to adulterously attach our heart to something irrelevant. Be always, every moment, with God, especially when you pray to Him. If you are inconstant, you will fall away from life, and will cast yourself into sorrow and straitness. Author: John of Kronstadt
Topics: Satan, Service | | Good works are indispensable to salvation - not as its ground or means, however, but as its consequence and evidence. Author: John Stott
Topics: Service | | Universalism, fashionable as it is today, is incompatible with the teaching of Christ and His apostles, and is a deadly enemy of evangelism. The true universalism of the Bible is the call to universal evangelism in obedience to Christ's universal commission. It is the conviction that not all men will be saved in the end, but that all men must hear the gospel of salvation before the end. Author: John Stott
Topics: Heresy | | We must never think of salvation as a kind of transaction between God and us in which He contributes grace and we contribute faith. For we were dead and had to be quickened before we could believe. No, Christ's apostles clearly teach elsewhere that saving faith too is God's gracious gift. Author: John Stott
Topics: Salvation | | 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
Topics: Salvation, Righteousness | | However tiring our work may be, how could it ever be tiresome? How could it be anything less than a joy to serve the One who has given us all things for life, and enrichment, and enjoyment? Jesus, who suffered so much to secure our salvation. Author: Joni Eareckson Tada

Topics: The Cross | | The purpose of the Bible? Salvation. God's highest passion is to get His children home. His book, the Bible, describes His plan of salvation. The purpose of the Bible is to proclaim god's plan and passion to save His children. Author: Max Lucado

Topics: The Bible, Salvation | | Whenever we receive Communion, we must do so in humility and brokenness before God. We must rejoice and be grateful and thankful for our salvation. Author: Michael Youssef
Topics: Humility, Brokenness | | The inner change, justification, is effected at the moment of salvation. The outer change in the believer's daily walk, sanctification, continues throughout life. But the progressive work of sanctification is only fully effective when the radical, inner transformation of justification is realized and appropriated by faith. Author: Neil T. Anderson

Topics: Salvation | | The love of a wife to her husband may begin from the supply of her necessities, but afterwards she may love him also for the sweetness of his person; so the soul first loves Christ for salvation but when she is brought to Him and finds what sweetness there is in Him then she loves Him for Himself.

Topics: Salvation, The Future | | There is something inexpressibly pleasing to a justified mind to know that God has all the honor in our salvation, and we have none; to know that God's honor is not violated, but on the contrary, shines more illustrious; to know that God's law is not injured, but magnified and made honorable; to know that we are safe, and God has all the glory.

Topics: Salvation | | If a Christian remains in a carnal condition long after experiencing new birth, he hinders God's salvation from realizing its full potential and manifestation. Only when he is growing in grace, constantly governed by the spirit, can salvation be wrought in him. Author: Watchman Nee
Topics: Christians, Grace, Carnality | | What is salvation? It is none other than God saving man out of himself into Himself. Salvation has two facets: a cutting off and a uniting with. What is cut off is self; the uniting is with God. Author: Watchman Nee
Topics: Salvation | | That is what it means to be saved. You declare that you belong to another system of things. People point to you and say, "Oh, yes, that is a Christian family; they belong to the Lord!" That is the salvation which the Lord desires for you, that by your public testimony you declare before God, "My world has gone; I am entering into another. Author: Watchman Nee

Topics: Salvation | | It is imperative that man receive God's life. The way of salvation cannot be in human reform, for "death" is irreparable. Sin must be judged before there can be rescue out of death. Exactly this is what has been provided by the salvation of the Lord Jesus. Author: Watchman Nee
Topics: Salvation | | To be freed from sin is not a difficult task when viewed in the light of the finished, perfect and complete salvation of God. A believer must proceed to learn the more advanced and perhaps more formidable and deeper lesson of abhorring his life. Author: Watchman Nee

Paul seemed to be surprised at their ignorance of such a sure fact. He viewed the indwelling of the Holy Spirit as the foremost consequence of salvation, so how could they miss it?
