Quotes About Salvation

Christianity is not just involved with "salvation", but with the total man in the total world. The Christian message begins with the existence of God forever, and then with creation.

I must be frank in my feeling that a notable heresy has come into being throughout our evangelical Christian circles -- the widely accepted concept that we humans can choose to accept Christ only because we need Him as Saviour and that we have the right to postpone our obedience to Him as Lord as long as we want to...

Apart from obedience, there can be no salvation, for salvation without obedience is a self-contradictory impossibility.

He [Jesus] fought and conquered. On the one hand, he was man who struggled for his fathers and through his obedience cancelled their disobedience. On the other hand, he bound the strong one and freed the weak and bestowed salvation on his handiwork by abolishing sin. For he is our compassionate and merciful Lord who loves mankind ...

Some say that God did foresee that such persons would believe, and therefore did choose them; so they would make the business of salvation to depend upon something in us.

We are elected to boldness, not for it.

The political superstition is still holding sway over the hearts and minds of the masses, but the true lovers of liberty will have no more to do with it.

Therein lies the salvation of man. Everything illegal necessitates integrity, self-reliance and courage.

We're in danger of losing an even more foundational belief of Christianity: that salvation is only possible through faith in Jesus Christ.

The apostles were very sure that everything of theirs which had to do with salvation was a gift to them from God. 'Increase our faith'.

And all of the producers and directors kind of looked at me uncertainly, and I said, 'What are you guys so uncomfortable for? That's an incredible compliment. I do look like the father of that guy, for Christ's sake!'
