I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes. Romans 1:16 Recommend Reading Romans 10:8-13 The word "salvation" appears 162 times in the Bible (NKJV). In both the Old and the New Testaments, it conveys the idea of being saved from a terrible…

In every work we undertake, it is most important that we should act on right principles. If we are misled upon essential points, our efforts will be wasted, since success cannot possibly be the result. A man may study the stars as long as he pleases, but he certainly will not come to right conclusions…

I have heard of a man who had a dream in which he thought he stood at the gates of heaven, and his wife with him. She went in, but the porter shut him out, saying, “The other day you said to your wife, ‘You may go to church and pray for us both.’ Now she shall go to heaven for you both, and you must…

Celebrating Milestones: Salvation For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8 At the age of 26, Calvin Hunt lost a much-desired recording contract. Disappointed and angry, he began experimenting with drugs. Over the next few years,…

When they frightened this nation years ago with the rumor of an invasion by the French, the Russians, or somebody or other, what was the result? Everybody became warlike. Our young men joined rifle clubs and our elderly men furbished up their old blunderbusses. Everybody hastened to arm himself to protect…

If we can be saved by our own merits, we need justice, but we certainly do not want mercy. A man who can go into court with a clear case and a bold countenance does not ask for mercy from the judge, and the offer of it would insult him. “Give me justice,” he says, “give me my rights,” and he stands up…

THE STORY I was born in 1725, and I died 1807. The only godly influence in my life, as far back as I can remember, was my mother, whom I had for only seven years. When she left my life through death, I was virtually an orphan. My father remarried, sent me to a strict military school, where the severity…

If Niagara could suddenly be made to leap upward instead of forever dashing downward from its rocky height, it would not be such a miracle as to change the perverse will and the raging passions of men. To wash the Ethiopian white, or remove the leopard’s spots, is proverbially a difficulty, yet these…

James 2:18b Recommended Reading James 2:14-18 Ask the average man or woman on the street what the prerequisite for a person to go to heaven is, and the response you are likely to receive is that he or she must "be a good…

A part of salvation is to be delivered from selfishness, and I am selfish enough to desire to be delivered from selfishness. How can you be of any service to others if you are not saved yourself? A man is drowning. I am on London Bridge. If I spring from the parapet and can swim, I can save him. But…

Let me compare salvation to a book, of which Jesus is the sole author. No one has contributed a line or a thought thereto. He has never asked any human mind to write a preface to His work; the first word is from His pen. Some of you are trying to preface Christ’s work, but your toil is fruitless; He…

To say that we save ourselves is to utter a manifest absurdity. We are called in Scripture “a temple”—a holy temple in the Lord. But shall anyone assert that the stones of the edifice were their own architect? Shall it be said that the stones of the building in which we are now assembled cut themselves…

When I was seeking the Lord, I not only believed that I could not pray without divine help, but I felt in my very soul that I could not. Then I could not even feel aright, or mourn as I would, or groan as I would. I longed to long more after Christ. Alas! I could not even feel that I needed Him as I…

When you come to your table you find a variety there. Sometimes there is one dish upon it, and sometimes another, but you are never at all surprised to find the bread there every time. And perhaps we might add that there would be a deficiency if there were not salt there every time too. So there are…

Christians, never be satisfied with being merely saved. Up with you! Away! Off! Go onward to the high mountains, to the clearer light, to the brighter joy! If saved, and brought, like the shipwrecked mariner, to shore, is that enough? Yes, for the moment it is enough to warrant the purest satisfaction…

I have told you before of the bricklayer who fell off a scaffold, and was taken up so injured that it was seen that he must soon die. A good clergyman, bending over him, said, “My dear man, you had better make your peace with God.” The poor fellow opened his eyes and said, “Make my peace with God, sir?…

Imagine a river, full of sandbanks, with a channel that twists and turns in a tortuous fashion. There is a vessel on it with an experienced pilot on board. Even he is very anxious, and is constantly heaving the lead and frequently going at half-speed or stopping altogether. Now if a steamer with a good…

We have sometimes heard of a brother who has become great and rich in the world. He has some poor brother or some distant relative, and when he sees him in the street he is obliged to speak to him and own him. I dare say he wished him a long way off, especially if some rich acquaintance happened to be…

Two men are going along a road, and they have a dog behind them. I do not know to whom that dog belongs, but I’ll tell you directly. They are coming to a crossroads. One goes to the right, the other goes to the left. Now, which man does the dog follow? That is his master. Now, when Christ and the world…

Have you never noticed in the streets that if one person stands still and looks up, or is occupied with gazing into a shop window, others become curious and look also? I would enlist that faculty of curiosity which is within every man and prompt you to search with the angels as they pry into the underlying…

If you drank poison and did not know it, I could pity you. If you made all your veins to swell with agony, and caused your death … But when we stand up and say, “It is poison! See others drop and die; do not touch it!” When we give you something a thousand times better, and ask you to take it, but you…
