Salvation cannot be bought with the currency of obedience; it is purchased by the blood of the Son of God. Thinking that we can trade our good works for salvation is like buying a plane ticket and then supposing we own the airline. Or thinking that after paying rent for our home, we now hold title to the entire planet earth.

Salvation for a race, nation or class must come from within.

The Scriptures of the Old and New Testament, said an eminent scholar, have God for their Author, the Salvation of mankind for their end, and Truth without any mixture of error for their matter.

Adam Clarke

Truth Men God

Salvation is from our side a choice, from the divine side it is a seizing upon, an apprehending, a conquest by the Most High God. Our 'accepting' and 'willing' are reactions rather than actions. The right of determination must always remain with God.

Aiden Wilson Tozer

God Wit Willing

The salvation of mankind lies only in making everything the concern of all.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Real music is not for wealth, not for honours or even the joys of the mind... but as a path for realisation and salvation.

Ali Akbar Khan

In the late 1980s, a new revolt broke out, this time led by the fundamentalist FIS (Islamic Salvation Front). Many of its leaders were the kind of young Algerians who joined the struggle against the French occupiers in the 1950s.

You write a book and you hope somebody will go out and pay $24.95 for what you've just said. I think books were my salvation. Books saved me from being miserable.

Amy Tan

One may preach a covenant of grace more clearly than another... But when they preach a covenant of works for salvation, that is not truth.

Anne Hutchinson

Work Truth Works

We are to introduce our people into the life of the Church, which is salvation, that they may grasp its meaning, its contents and purpose, to taste and see how good the Lord is.

Arthur Middleton

Life Good Which

These are fountains of salvation that they who thirst may be satisfied with the living words they contain. In these alone is proclaimed the doctrine of godliness. Let no man add to these, neither let him take out from these.

Athanasius

God Alone Words

Growing up, my family struggled to make ends meet, so I know how important organizations like The Salvation Army are for families to lean on in times of need.

Becky G

But I'm going to focus on salvation as well as physical healing.

Benny Hinn

I didn't have a fireworks moment for my salvation. I had a falling in love with Jesus in Sunday school when I was a very young child.

Beth Moore

My salvation was a free gift. I didn't have to work for it and it's better than any gold medal that I've ever won.

Betty Cuthbert

Ignorance has always been the weapon of tyrants; enlightenment the salvation of the free.

Bill Richardson

The Bible says today is the accepted time, today is the day of salvation... But there will come a time when it will be too late for you.

Billy Graham

Time You Will

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.

Blase J. Cupich

The planet's hope and salvation lies in the adoption of revolutionary new knowledge being revealed at the frontiers of science.

Bruce Lipton

Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.

I was born into the world as the king of truth for the salvation of the world.

The diffusion of a universalist culture and of a pedagogy of peace appears more than ever to be the path that we must follow for the salvation of all nations on earth.

Carlo Azeglio Ciampi

Music has always been my constant, my salvation. It's cliche to write that, but it's true.

Carrie Brownstein

The soul, who is lifted by a very great and yearning desire for the honor of God and the salvation of souls, begins by exercising herself, for a certain space of time, in the ordinary virtues, remaining in the cell of self-knowledge, in order to know better the goodness of God towards her.

Catherine of Siena

What are we Democrats fighting for? We are not fighting for salvation and going to heaven. But we are fighting for Medicaid, Medicare, health care, education, jobs, helping old folks.

Charles B. Rangel

The greatest enemy to human souls is the self-righteous spirit which makes men look to themselves for salvation.

Charles Spurgeon

The roaring thunder of the law and the fear of the terror of judgment are both used to bring us to Christ, but the final victory culminating in our salvation is won through God's loving-kindness.

Charles Spurgeon

Noah walked with God; he didn't only preach righteousness, he acted it. He went through water and didn't melt. He breasted the current of the popular opinion of his day, scorning alike the hatred and ridicule of the scoffers who mocked at the thought of there being but one way of salvation.

Charles Studd

With every new class of representatives that comes to Congress, there is a greater recognition of the perils of private financing of campaigns. I believe that by pulling back the curtain on the daily pressures faced by members of Congress, we can show the public how critical this reform is to the salvation of our democracy.

Chris Murphy

Inspiration is highly overrated. If you sit around and wait for the clouds to part, it's not liable to ever happen. More often than not, work is salvation.

Chuck Close

I grew up on a council estate in Luton, and as a child, I was very much into the brass-band tradition. I was basically a Salvation Army boy. My English granddad bought me a cornet when I was five years old.

Colin Salmon

Why are you scared to dream of god when it's salvation that you want?

Conor Oberst

It is more noble to give yourself completely to one individual than to labor diligently for the salvation of the masses.

Dag Hammarskjold

Christians who believe in the Bible believe that it is their job to bring others the joy of salvation. Even if they're murdered, beaten to death, imprisoned - that's what you do for God.

Daniel Everett

I've been through a lot, and England has been my salvation. One million per cent.

Danny Rose

Receiving the authority of the priesthood by the laying on of hands is an important beginning, but it is not enough. Ordination confers authority, but righteousness is required to act with power as we strive to lift souls, to teach and testify, to bless and counsel, and to advance the work of salvation.

David A. Bednar

Repenting and coming unto Christ through the covenants and ordinances of salvation are prerequisite to and a preparation for being sanctified by the reception of the Holy Ghost and standing spotless before God at the last day.

David A. Bednar

That is, the only reason salvation is necessary is to get us back to the garden. The Pentateuch not only presents where we began but also why we are not there any more, and why and how we need to get back.

David Baker

We are a long time in learning that all our strength and salvation is in God.

David Brainerd

If I die without food or without eternal salvation, I want to die without food.

David Green

My salvation lies in time spent alone with an X-Acto knife and commercial-grade adhesive.

David Rakoff

Salvation is the state of emancipation from the endurance of pain and subjection to birth and death, and of the life of liberty and happiness in the immensity of God.

Dayananda Saraswati

Salvation cannot be bought with the currency of obedience; it is purchased by the blood of the Son of God. Thinking that we can trade our good works for salvation is like buying a plane ticket and then supposing we own the airline. Or thinking that after paying rent for our home, we now hold title to the entire planet earth.

Dieter F. Uchtdorf

The gospel of Jesus Christ is good news, glad tidings, and much more. It is the message of salvation as repeatedly announced by Jesus Christ and His apostles and prophets. It is my firm belief that all truth and light originating with God is embraced in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Dieter F. Uchtdorf

The form of the blues helps us express our joys, our fears, our - anything you want to express. And it helps you get it out instead of it spiraling inward, and you're getting twisted up and exploding. So it's a bit of salvation.

Dion DiMucci

Now for my own case, I bless the Lord that, for all that hath been said of me, my conscience doth not condemn me. I do not say I am free of sin, but I am at peace with God through a slain Mediator; and I believe that there is no salvation but only in Christ.

Donald Cargill

In Pope Francis, I see a leader who lives every day in the image of Jesus. Under his guidance, the church is focused once again on providing comfort, compassion and salvation for sinners, the poor, and those who seek peace in an increasingly complex world. That's my Catholicism.

Donna Brazile

I would be cautious in embracing or rejecting doctrines. Had they been essential to our salvation, they would have been more explicitly declared in the Gospels, where we are so well taught the practice of every good word and work.

Dorothea Dix

I firmly believe that our salvation depends on the poor.

Dorothy Day

The business is my life, the ring my salvation, the locker room and roads my nourishment.

Dusty Rhodes

To know yourself as the Being underneath the thinker, the stillness underneath the mental noise, the love and joy underneath the pain, is freedom, salvation, enlightenment.

Eckhart Tolle
