While the Bible's account of the flood is one of judgment, it is also one of mercy and salvation.
It [salvation] is not this flu shot mentality of an invitation of the Gospel.
The reason for your entire salvation, the design behind your deliverance, the purpose for which God chose you in the first place is holiness.
I think there's many a slaveholder'll get to Heaven. They don't know better. They acts up to the light they have.
Will any man that hath not lost his senses, now stand caviling, and quarrelling, that so few should be saved, instead of making sure of his own salvation? The reason that there are so few is, because they will not be saved upon God's terms.
Since Christendom comprehends only a small part of the globe, should not everyone who believes in God be saved by his own religion?
Can we go too fast in saving souls? If anyone still wants a reply, let him ask the lost souls in Hell.
There's only one thing to do with God's offer of the gift of salvation: Say "thank you" and embrace it.
Catholicism is contrary to human liberty. Catholicism bases salvation upon belief. Catholicism teaches man to trample his reason under foot. And for that reason it is wrong.
Gospel riches are sent to remove our wretchedness, and mercy to remove our misery.
For me, having come to study and understand some of the Bible and finally getting saved made a huge difference in me, because my wife was a big influence on that. I saw in her, when I first met her, a person's soul at peace with everything and everybody around her.
All the more vile is the stupidity of those persons who open heaven to all the impious and unbelieving without the grace of Him whom Scripture commonly teaches to be the only door whereby we enter into salvation.
Everyone who believes in Jesus Christ will be saved. That is true.
If we get our salvation, we shall have to pass by him [Joseph Smith]; if we enter our glory, it will be through the authority he has received. We cannot get around him
Jesus came to save us, not just from politics, enemies, challenges, or difficulties.
The drunk kids, the catholics They're all about the same They're waiting for something Hoping to be saved
The purpose of the Bible is simply to proclaim God's plan to save His children.
The world doesn't want to be punished. It wants to remain in darkness. It doesn't want to be told that what it believes is false. If you also don't want to be corrected, then you might as well leave the church and spend your time at the bar and brothel. But if you want to be saved-and remember that there's another life after this one-you must accept correction.
There is but one Church in which men find salvation, just as outside the ark of Noah it was not possible for anyone to be saved.
We have to believe in the mercy and grace of God to trigger conversion rather than the other way around: that you're only going to get the mercy if you have a conversion. The economy of salvation doesn't work that way.
If Christ cannot supersede the Law, then I am lost, and lost forever.
Jesus made me, so he should save me from pity, sympathy and idiots discussing me.
If so be that freewill were our tutor, and we had our heaven in our own keeping, then we would lose all. But because we have Christ for our tutor, and He has our heaven in His hand, therefore the covenant it must be perpetual.
Beyond a doubt, they perish eternally who do not keep the Catholic faith entire and unchanged.
God is not glorified in any transaction upon earth so much as in the conversion of a sinner.
