Quotes about Salvation

The blood was shed to unite us to God.

Your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. COLOSSIANS 3:3—4 (NKJV)

Christ is the expression of the humility of God embodied in human nature; the Eternal Love humbling itself, clothing itself in the garb of meekness and gentleness, to win and serve and save us.

And so He is still, in the midst of the throne, the meek and lowly Lamb of God.

Without shedding of blood there is no remission of sins. Without remission of sins there is no life. But by the shedding of His BLOOD He has obtained a new life for us. By what He calls the drinking of His blood He shares His life with us. The blood SHED in the Atonement, which frees us from the SIN, the guilt of sin; and from death, the punishment of sin; the blood, which by faith we drink, bestows on us His life.

nothing can save us but the restoration of our lost humility, the original and only true relationship of the creature to its God.

Shall we not accept the salvation that Jesus offers? He gave up His own will; He gave up His own honor; He gave up any confidence in Himself; He lived dependent upon God as a servant whom the Father had sent. There is the salvation we need, the Spirit of humility that was in Christ.
