Salvation is God’s ultimate restoration plan and only through Christ can we receive this eternal gift. Below is a series of quotes that I pray, in their totality, will let you see how unique and priceless this eternal gift is.1 At the end of this devotion may God’s awesome goodness shine forth in all of its brilliance, causing you to bow before Him who is Lord of all – Jesus Christ!
“To be ‘in Christ’ is to place one’s trust in Him for salvation from sin. To be ‘in Christ’ is to trust His goodness, not our own; to trust that His sacrificial death on the cross paid the complete debt of death we owe for our sin; to trust that His resurrection gives us eternal life instead of relying upon our own ability to please God. To be ‘in Christ’ is to claim, by faith, the free gift of salvation. To be ‘in Christ’ is to enjoy a completely restored relationship with our Father in heaven by virtue of His Son’s righteous standing.”
“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.”
“Christ came into the world to save sinners, not good people, and your unworthiness is your greatest claim for His 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.”
“Many persons make the mistake of thinking they can measure the certainty of salvation by their feelings. It is the Word of God that is their foundation and therefore it is essential for the new convert in Christ to have a practical knowledge of the Bible. More than anyone else it is the new convert who will come under the fire of the enemy.”
“The only thing of our very own which we contribute to our salvation is the sin which makes it necessary.”
“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.”
“Jesus is not one of many ways to approach God, nor is He the best of several ways; He is the only way.”
“The conversion of a soul is the miracle of a moment, but the manufacture of a saint is the task of a lifetime.”
“Salvation comes through a cross and a crucified Christ.”
“A man is not saved against his will, but he is made willing by the operation of the Holy Ghost. A mighty grace which he does not wish to resist enters into the man, disarms him, makes a new creature of him, and he is saved.”
“Emmanuel. God with us. He who resided in Heaven, co-equal and co-eternal with the Father and the Spirit, willingly descended into our world. He breathed our air, felt our pain, knew our sorrows, and died for our sins. He didn’t come to frighten us, but to show us the way to warmth and safety.”’
“The mightiest man that ever lived could not deliver himself from his sins. If a man could have saved himself, Christ would never have come into the world.”
“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.”
“In Christ alone, and His payment of the penalty for our sins upon the Cross, we find reconciliation to God and ultimate meaning and purpose.”
“Saving us is the greatest and most concrete demonstration of God’s love, the definitive display of His grace throughout time and eternity.”
“You could not be saved through any effort of your own, but now that you are saved it is necessary for you to put forward every effort you can to glorify Him.”
“[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.”
“One single soul saved shall outlive and outweigh all the kingdoms of the world.”
“When I was young, I was sure of many things; now there are only two things of which I am sure: one is, that I am a miserable sinner; and the other, that Christ is an all-sufficient Saviour. He is well-taught who learns these two lessons.”
“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.”
“Before an individual can be saved, he must first learn that he cannot save himself.”
“Though the Bible was written over sixteen centuries by at least forty authors, it has one central theme–salvation through faith in Christ.”
“Through salvation our past has been forgiven, our present is given meaning, and our future is secured.”
“Salvation is always ‘good news.’ It is news of God’s love and forgiveness—adoption into His family—fellowship with His people—freedom from the penalty of sin—liberation from the power of sin.”
