Salvation, Doctrine of Salvation, Soteriology, Conversion, Saving FaithSALVATION may be viewed from many angles and contemplated under various aspects, but from whatever side we look at it we must ever remember that 'Salvation is of the Lord.' Salvation was planned by the Father for His elect before the foundation of the world. It was purchased for them by the holy life and vicarious death of His incarnate Son. It is applied to and wrought in them by His Holy Spirit. It is known and enjoyed through the study of the Scriptures, though the exercise of faith, and though communion with the triune Jehovah. - Arthur Pink - Experimental Salvation
Experimental Salvation by Arthur W. Pink
Salvation may be viewed from many angles and contemplated under various aspects, but from whatever side we look at it we must ever remember that "Salvation is of the Lord."
God's Sovereignty in the Salvation of Men (Romans 9:18) by Jonathan Edwards
THE apostle, in the beginning of this chapter, expresses his great concern and sorrow of heart for the nation of the Jews, who were rejected of God. This leads him to observe the difference which God made by election between some of the Jews and others, and between the bulk of that people and the christian Gentiles.
Salvation According to Jesus by William Webster
When teaching on salvation Jesus has a great deal to say about hell, the kingdom of God, his atonement, union with himself, conversion, faith, repentance, sanctification and discipleship. Surprisingly, he has little to say about justification.
Salvation by Grace by Loraine Boettner
The word “grace” in its proper sense means the free and undeserved love or favor of God exercised toward the undeserving, toward sinners. It is something which is given irrespective of any worthiness in man; and to introduce works or merit into any part of this scheme vitiates its nature and frustrates its design.
The Work of Conversion by John Owen
The corrupt principle of sin works early in our natures, and for the most part prevents grace from working in us (Psa. 58:3). As we grow mentally and physically, our natures increasingly become the willing instruments of unrighteousness (Rom. 6:13).
Treatise on Grace - Part I: Shewing That Common and Saving Grace Differ, Not Only in Degree, But in Nature and Kind by Jonathan Edwards
SUCH phrases as common grace, and special or saving grace, may be understood as signifying either diverse kinds of influence of God's Spirit on the hearts of men, or diverse fruits and effects of that influence.
Treatise on Grace - Part II: Shewing Wherein All Saving Grace Does Summarily Consist by Jonathan Edwards
THE next thing that arises for consideration is, What is the nature of this principle in the soul that is so entirely diverse from all that is naturally in the soul?
Treatise on Grace - Part III: Shewing How a Principle of Grace is from the Spirit of God by Jonathan Edwards
Regeneration is by the Spirit: John iii. 5, 6—" Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water, and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit."
The Plan of Salvation - Part I (Differing Conceptions) by Benjamin B. Warfield
THE SUBJECT to which our attention is to be directed in this series of lectures is ordinarily spoken of as "The Plan of Salvation." Its more technical designation is, "The Order of Decrees." And this technical designation has the advantage over the more popular one, of more accurately defining the scope of the subject matter.
The Plan of Salvation - Part II (Autosoterism) by Benjamin B. Warfield
THERE ARE fundamentally only two doctrines of salvation: that salvation is from God, and that salvation is from ourselves. The former is the doctrine of common Christianity; the latter is the doctrine of universal heathenism."
The Plan of Salvation - Part III (Sacerdotalism) by Benjamin B. Warfield
The sacerdotal principle finds very complete expression in the thoroughly developed and logically compacted system of the Church of Rome. According to this system God the Lord does nothing looking to the salvation of men directly and immediately: all that he does for the salvation of men he does through the mediation of the Church.
The Plan of Salvation - Part IV (Universalism) by Benjamin B. Warfield
In odd contradiction to the individualistic sentiment which informs all truly evangelical piety, there exists in Protestantism a widespread tendency to construe the activities of God looking to salvation not individualistically but universally, to assert, in one word, that all that God does looking toward the salvation of sinful man, he does not to or for individual men but to or for all men alike, making no distinctions.
The Plan of Salvation - Part V (Calvinism) by Benjamin B. Warfield
AS OVER AGAINST all attempts to conceive the operations of God looking to salvation universalistically, that is as directed to mankind in the mass, Calvinism insists that the saving operations of God are directed in every case immediately to the individuals who are saved.
Preparations Before Conversion: Part I by Samuel Rutherford
Are there no preparations either of nature or at least of grace going before saving grace, and the soul's being drawn to Christ?
Preparations Before Conversion: Part II by Samuel Rutherford
Objection by Saltmarsh. But others bid the troubled soul believe, but he must first seek in himself qualifications or conditions. But this is to will them to walk in the light of their own sparks.
Preparations Before Conversion: Part III by Samuel Rutherford
Assertion. That the promises of the gospel are holden forth to sinners as sinners, hath a twofold sense.
Saving Faith by John Bunyan
He then that would have forgiveness of sins, and so be delivered from the curse of God, must believe in the righteousness and blood of Christ: but he that would show to his neighbours that he hath truly received this mercy of God, must do it by good works; for all things else, to them, is but talk.
