1 " I take leave to contradict those who say that salvation is an evolution! All that ever can be evolved out of the sinful heart of man is sin-and nothing else! Salvation is the free gift of God, by Jesus Christ, and the work of it is supernatural. It is done by the Lord Himself, and He has power to do it, however weak, no, however dead in sin, the sinner may be! "
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon
2 " 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. "
3 " You must first feel sorry for your sins, to seek the free gift of grace of salvation. "
4 " 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
