salvation

One of the the loveliest lines I have ever read comes from Brother Roger, the Prior of the Protestant monks of Taize, France: 'Assured of your salvation by the unique grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.' It is still difficult for me to read these words without tears filling my eyes. It is wonderful.

True repentance is a turning from sin . . . Humanly speaking, it is our small part in the plan of salvation. Our part is repenting. God will do the converting, the transforming, and the forgiving.

The Bible is primarily concerned with the story of man__ redemption as it is in Jesus Christ. If you read Scripture and miss the story of salvation, you have missed its message and its meaning.

God longs for men to be saved. God is at work to get men to stop their downward plunge in sin.

Your salvation depends on what [Christ] has done for you, not on what you do for Him. It isn__ your hold on God that saves you; it__ His hold on you.

If Satan can__ keep you away from Christ, he will at least try to make you doubt your salvation.

Is it not arrogance or narrow-mindedness to claim that there is only one way of salvation or that the way we follow is the right way? I think not. After all, do we fault a pilot for being narrow-minded when he follows the instrument panel [while] landing in a rainstorm? No, we want him to remain narrowly focused!

Millions today want salvation, but on their own terms. They want to come their own way, and so we have hundreds of schemes and plans devised by men to regain paradise.

The blood of Christ justifies and saves us . . .The word justification means __ust as if you had never sinned.

God doesn__ say to be perfect and you__l get to heaven. He says to confess that you__e a sinner and come to the cross, and whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Your salvation is a free gift, made possible only because God planned it . . .Christ paid for it . . . and the Holy Spirit assures you of it.

God__ grace__is goodness and love toward us in spite of our sin__s the wellspring of our salvation.

Man stands on the brink of hell. The forces building up in our world are so overwhelming that man everywhere is beginning to cry out in desperation: __hat must I do to be saved?

Salvation is an act of God. It is initiated by God, wrought by God, and sustained by God.

[God] holds in His omnipotent hand the priceless, precious, eternal gift of salvation, and He bids you to take it without money and without price.

Salvation is always __ood news._ It is news of God__ love and forgiveness__doption into His family__ellowship with His people__reedom from the penalty of sin__iberation from the power of sin.

Believers in Christ owe nothing to God in payment for salvation . . . but they do owe God a life of undivided devotion and service.

Salvation is not just repairing the original self. It is a new self created of God in righteousness and true holiness.
