Salvation is a work of God for man, rather than a work of man for God.

It may be a secret sin on earth, but it is open scandal in heaven.

True salvation is wholly a work of God. It is said to be both a finished work and a gift, and, therefore, it lays no obligation upon the saved one to complete it himself, or to make after payments of service for it.

In the present age, man proves his separation from his Creator by his spirit of self-sufficienc y and positive rejection of God. The present issue between God and man is one of whether man will accept God's estimate of him, abandon his hopeless self-struggle, and cast himself only on God who alone is sufficient to accomplish his needed transformation.

Infant baptism when practiced can be no more than an expression of the faith and hope of the parents that their child will ultimately be saved.

Anyone can devise a plan by which good people may go to Heaven. Only God can devise a plan whereby sinners, who are His enemies, can go to Heaven.

The lost are never saved by confessing and the saved are never restored by believing.
