For the Holy Spirit comes in the Father’s and in the Son’s name and authority, to put the last hand to the work of our salvation, by bringing all the fruits of election and redemption home to our souls in this work.
—John Flavel
Unite with a church that has a real active interest in the salvation of the lost, where young Christians are looked after and helped, where minister and people have a love for the poor and outcast, a church that regards its mission in the world to seek and save the lost.”
—R. A. Torrey
We must be very careful not to mix in our good works at all as the ground of salvation. We are not forgiven because of Christ’s death and our good works, we are forgiven solely because of Christ’s death. 1/2
—R. A. Torrey
I don’t object to seeing men weep over their sins. I don’t know why it is not manly for a man to weep over his sins. It is more manly than to trifle with salvation, and make light of serious things. A great many men seem to be ashamed to shed tears over their sins.
—D. L. Moody
It is confessedly true, that God’s good pleasure appointing us from eternity to salvation, is, in its kind, a most full and sufficient impulsive cause of our salvation, and every way able (for so much as it is concerned) to produce its effect.
—John Flavel
If we rest in Christ’s atoning work we shall do good works, but they will be the outcome of being saved and the outcome of believing on Christ as our sin-bearer. Our good works will not be the ground of our salvation, but the result of our salvation and the proof of it. 2/2
—R. A. Torrey
Christ’s humiliation and sufferings are a most complete and sufficient meritorious cause of our salvation, to which nothing can be added to make it more apt, and able to procure our salvation, than it already is.
—John Flavel
All men, according to Paul, are dead in sin. Salvation, then, can come only by a new creation.
—J. Gresham Machen
Salvation doesn’t come from rituals, mysteries, or the revelations of this or that religion, but from a clear awareness of the meaning of your life.
—Leo Tolstoy
God is both the purchaser and the price; for Christ, who is God, purchased these blessings for us, by offering up himself as the price of our salvation.
—Jonathan Edwards
“Our urgent work— I mean yours and mine, my brethren— is to go out into the world and proclaim the blessed gospel of salvation to all who care to hear us.”
How can they hope for salvation for their souls if they do not believe that ‘the Lord is risen indeed’?
— Charles Spurgeon
Nothing weakens a person more than hope in something other than his own effort to find salvation and happiness.
—Leo Tolstoy
If you die in your sins, there is not in the Bible one ray of hope to show that there will be opportunity to repent hereafter. Now is the accepted time of salvation.
—D. L. Moody

“Salvation by grace, through faith in Jesus, is no dream, no fiction, let sceptics say what they will.”

Better a man to be sure of his salvation than to have the wealth of the world rolled to his feet.

“[Christ] is our salvation, and we shall never put that salvation in tangible, graspable, real form unless we go to him, and get distinctly from himself the message we are to deliver on his behalf.”
– Charles Spurgeon
The true religion is to be posited not in the knowledge or confession of what God allegedly does or has done for our salvation, but in what we must do to become worthy of this.
—Immanuel Kant
What the Apostle is concerned to deny is any intrusion of human merit into the work by which salvation is obtained.
—J. Gresham Machen
There’s no salvation for a person who’s certain of his righteousness. If someone points out his sins he only gets angry and commits a new one.
—Leo Tolstoy
O the grace and mercy of Christ which are still ready for me, a poor persevering sinner, who have so long trifled with the concerns of my soul’s salvation.
—William Wilberforce
Enlightened by the Spirit, believers gain a new knowledge of faith. Salvation that is not known and enjoyed is no salvation. God saves by causing himself to be known and enjoyed in Christ.
—Herman Bavinck
Grace is the beginning, the middle, and the end of the entire work of salvation; it is totally devoid of human merit.

…we cannot aspire to God and enter salvation, but God, in his infinite grace and mercy, gives it and reveals it.
