Christian living is not a method or technique; it is an entirely different, revolutionary principle of life.

Salvation
Presumed Salvation – Charles Spurgeon
If thou shalt hate the things that thou didst once love, and love the things that thou didst once hate; if thou hast really repented; if there be a thorough change of mind in thee; if thou be born again, then hast thou reason to rejoice: but if there be no vital change, no inward godliness; if there be no love to God, no prayer, no work of the Holy Spirit, then thy saying “I am saved” is but thine own assertion, and it may delude, but it will not deliver thee.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Christ’s hold of you – Charles Spurgeon
What a mercy it is that it is not your hold of Christ that saves you, but His hold of you!
– Charles Spurgeon –
Count the Cost of Christianity – Kay Arthur
If you do not plan to live the Christian life totally committed to knowing your God and to walking in obedience to Him, then don’t begin, for this is what Christianity is all about. It is a change of citizenship, a change of governments, a change of allegiance. If you have no intention of letting Christ rule your life, then forget Christianity; it is not for you.
– Kay Arthur –
Evidence of Salvation – Charles Spurgeon
Another proof of the conquest of a soul for Christ will be found in a real change of life. If the man does not live differently from what he did before, both at home and abroad, his repentance needs to be repented of and his conversion is a fiction.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Making unbelievers question their unbelief – Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Your life as a Christian should make non-believers question their disbelief in God.
– Dietrich Bonhoeffer –
Beginning of Salvation – Martin Luther
The recognition of sin is the beginning of salvation.
– Martin Luther –
Death Unto Life – George Macdonald
The seed dies into a new life, and so does man.
– George Macdonald –
The Church is … – Paul David Tripp
The church is not a theological classroom. It is a conversion, confession, repentance, reconciliation, forgiveness and sanctification center.
