“The blessed Paul argues that we are saved by faith, which he declares to be not from us but a gift from God. Thus there cannot possibly be true salvation where there is no true faith, and, since this faith is divinely enabled, it is without doubt bestowed by his free generosity. Where there is true belief through true faith, true salvation certainly accompanies it. Anyone who departs from true faith will not possess the grace of true salvation.” BeliefDoubtGraceBlessedSalvationArguingSavedBeing TrueGenerosityAccompanyGift From GodTrue Faith Author:Fulgentius of Ruspe

“The practical effect of a belief is the real test of its soundness. Where we find a heroic life appearing as the uniform fruit of a particular mode of opinion, it is childish to argue in the face of fact that the result ought to have been different.” Has BeensDifferentRealFactsFacesBeliefResultsOpinionEffectsParticularOughtTestsFruitArguingPracticalsHeroicUniformsAppearingSoundness Book:Short Studies on Great Subjects: Second series Source: Short Studies on Great Subjects: Second series
