Salvation Quotes

Salvation is the most important thing that a person has and the devil knows very well what its value is.

~ Sunday Adelaja

There are only two ways that God’s justice can be satisfied with respect to your sin. Either you satisfy it or Christ satisfies it. You can satisfy it by being banished from God’s presence forever. Or you can accept the satisfaction that Jesus Christ has made.

~ R.c. Sproul

He tells people that they can no more expect justice in the afterlife than in the mortal plane, but he doesn't do this to dissuade them from worshipping God; on the contrary, he encourages them to do so. What he insists on is that they not love God under a misapprehension, that if they wish to love God, they be prepared to do so no matter His intentions. God is not just, God is not kind, God is not merciful, and understanding that is essential to true devotion.

~ Ted Chiang

The cross solved our problem by first revealing our real problem, our universal pattern of scapegoating and sacrificing others. The cross exposes forever the scene of our crime.

~ Richard Rohr

There is only one way to salvation, and that is to make yourself responsible for all men's sins. As soon as you make yourself responsible in all sincerity for everything and for everyone, you will see at once that this is really so, and that you are in fact to blame for everyone and for all things.

~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky

There is no sin unless through a man's own will, and hence the reward when we do right things also of our own

~ Augustine Of Hippo

Sin is the handle by which I get Christ,...

~ John Duncan

Why do we act as though our sin disqualifies us from the grace of God? That is the only thing that qualifies us! Anything else is a self-righteous attempt to earn God's grace. You cannot trust God's grace 99 percent. It's all or nothing. The problem, as I pointed out earlier, is that we want partial credit for our salvation. We want to be 1 percent of the equation. But if we try to save ourselves, we forfeit the salvation that comes from Jesus Christ alone, by grace through faith.

~ Mark Batterson

If your deepest feelings are reserved for something other than Almighty God, then that something other is an emotional idol... if you get more excited about material things than the simple yet profound fact that your sin was nailed to the cross by the sinless Son of God, then you're bowing down to Tammuz.

~ Mark Batterson

Sanity for anyone is pretty much out of the question, as both the saint and the sinner appear only equally insane: the saint appears it for actually believing in a place of eternal torment; the sinner, for deciding to risk going to that place of eternal torment.

~ Criss Jami

May God deliver us from self-righteous judging and make us, instead, merciful carriers of Christ's salvation and freedom everywhere we go. Jesus 'came into the world to save sinners,' the apostle Paul wrote, even considering himself to be the 'worst' of the lot (1 Timothy 1:15). But rejoice in why he was so candid about his condition, for it applies to us also: 'For that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him and receive eternal life.' (v 16).

~ Jim Cymbala

The sinner is saved to be a saint by the Saviour.

~ Lailah Gifty Akita

Remorse (I did it) is an easy, passive, human reaction, there is no value in it and it changes nothing. Repentance (I will not do it again) is the difficult call to action in a redeemed heart. It has an eternal impact and it can change everything.

~ William Branks

The Amida Buddha delivers those who recognize their own weakness and cowardice... Those who admit their own faults and above all, those who believe... A wholehearted trust in Amida Buddha gives peace of mind to those who've known despair. Even the most vicious and evil of sinners will attain salvation and be reborn in paradise... Even a piece of shit like me!

~ Naoyuki Ochiai

I grew up believing Christians didn’t just believe in Jesus. To be saved, people had to look and speak a certain way. They followed a long list of nots to ensure their holiness. They fit the mold. They followed the rules.

~ Anna White

[It] could be argued that the favorite sin of Satan would not be vanity, as described in 'Devil's Advocate', or even unbelief in the existence of the devil, as described in 'The Usual Suspects,' but the imagining of a generic, Christless God. The very essence of the Christian faith centers on the identity of Jesus Christ as God's only begotten Son, who alone is the source of salvation and author of faith (Acts 4:12). So it stands to reason that Satan's favorite sin is the belief in a God without Jesus, because that is a god without atonement or redemption and that is what populates hell in the name of heaven.

~ Brian Godawa

But I have been too deeply hurt, Sam. I tried to save the Shire, and it has been saved, but not for me. It must often be so, Sam, when things are in danger: some one has to give them up, lose them, so that others may keep them.

~ J.r.r. Tolkien

Even if no salvation should come, I want to be worthy of it at every moment.

~ Franz Kafka

And the child smiled on the Giant, and said to him, 'You let me play once in your garden, to-day you shall come with me to my garden, which is Paradise.

~ Oscar Wilde

Even death is going to die!

~ Sally Lloyd-Jones

The door of the visible church is incomparably wider than the door of heaven (522)[.]

~ Richard Baxter

They have been promising us for a long time — in every culture — that they are going to take us to heaven. They promise heaven because they are making a hell out of this place.

~ Sadhguru

God is only interested in fulfilling your needs, not your wants; learn to successfully weed out your wants from your needs. Matthew 6:8

~ Felix Wantang

The truth shall set you free only if you cherish the taste of freedom. John 8:31-32

~ Felix Wantang

The Law of God was never a ladder for unsaved people to climb up to heaven. It was always a pattern of life for God’s people who had been saved from judgment by the blood of the Lamb.

~ Colin S. Smith

In that day every trial borne in patience will be pleasing and the voice of iniquity will be stilled, the devout will be glad, the irreligious will mourn, and the mortified body will rejoice far more than if it had been pampered with every pleasure. Then the cheap garment will shine with splendor and the rich one become faded and worn, the poor cottage will be more praised than the gilded palace. In that day persevering patience will count more than all the power in this world, simple obedience will be exalted above all worldly cleverness, a good and clean conscience will gladden the heart of man far more than the philosophy of the learned, and contempt for riches will be of more weight than every treasure on earth.

~ Thomas À Kempis

The Judgement is not a question, it's a sure answer, as to a clump of dough, that will yeast and rise, or go in the oven and burn to crust.

~ Anthony Liccione

A saving, though an immethodical knowledge of Christ, will bring us to heaven, John 17: 2, but a regular and methodical, as well as a saving knowledge of him, will bring heaven into us, Col. 2: 2, 3.

~ John Flavel

Like most people, my views about ghosts and haunted places were traditional while growing up. I believed ghosts were human spirits. Not that I talked to many people about the subject or my experiences. I assumed people would think I was weird.

~ Kristine Mcguire

At the point that it dawns on me that I am not God I have finally made room for God.

~ Craig D. Lounsbrough

Instead of being proud that you led someone to God, be more concerned with the person you pushed away from Him.

~ Donna Lynn Hope

We must search the scriptures, accepting them as the mind and will and voice of the Lord and the very power of God unto salvation.

~ Bruce R. Mcconkie

Some people are bringing the business tricks of scarcity mentality into God's mind. They will tell you that only a few will see God. Why? God's heart is infinitely huge, his arms infinitely large that all of us can have a place in him

~ Bangambiki Habyarimana

The path to Salvation is as narrow and as difficult to walk as a razor's edge.

~ W. Somerset Maugham

Autumn has come and reason has gone. Yesterday, I sold the sun for you and tonight the stars are running away from me. When you first spoke, you slowly annihilated my world. Your mouth was like the sea — in your kisses I sank. Your hands were like the ocean — in your caresses I sank. I ask for no salvation on this moonless night. I only ask for more Autumn.

~ Kamand Kojouri

The fool will pay anything to live a few more years on earth, but the fool rejects the free gift of everlasting life. Salvation is a wise choice.

~ Felix Wantang

If you think that there's anything that you need to do for salvation, then you've missed the point of the Gospel. Eternal life is a gift from God!

~ Ibrahim Emile

Salvation lies not in the faithfulness to forms, but in the liberation from them.

~ Boris Pasternak

The Fathers intent desire is that none would 'perish'. The promise God has given us is one of 'liberation'- Freedom. Being set free from captivity and reconciled to your Father. Intimacy with Jesus garners son-ship with Abba. As Jesus demonstrated that Son-ship of Grace he said, 'I only say and do what I hear the Father saying and doing'. Proclaiming the Kingdom of God by Do'in the Stuff. The early church 'got' Jesus. John Wimber 're-got' Jesus and began proclaiming the Kingdom and demonstrating it as any loving son would of his Father. Now, we are no longer refuges but 'Bona Fide' citizens in good standing with our King and our new country. Where Love, Mercy, Grace; Peace 'rains' on us eternally here and now. 'The Already But Not Yet' (Ruis).~R. Alan Woods [2013]

~ R. Alan Woods

The most pressing problem facing America can't be solved in Washington DC. True hope and change can't be found at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. It can only be found at the foot of the cross on Calvary.

~ Todd Starnes
