“Not only our eternal salvation depends upon our willingness and capacity to forgive wrongs committed against us. Our joy and satisfaction in this life, and our true freedom, depend upon our doing so. When Christ bade us turn the other cheek, walk the second mile, give our cloak to him who takes our coat, was it to be chiefly out of consideration for the bully, the brute, the thief? Or was it to relieve the one aggrieved of the destructive burden that resentment and anger lay upon us?” GivingJoyTurnsChristWalksDependsEternalCapacitySalvationForgivingLaysCommittedSatisfactionBurdenMilesThis LifeDestructiveConsiderationWillingnessResentmentCheeksThievesCoatsBullyBrutesCloaksTrue FreedomTurn The Other Cheek Author:Marion D.

“To feel that you are the Buddha of all times and places and that in some way the salvation of anyone, including yourself, depends upon you, I think there's a lot of ego involved in such a view, not much self-transcendence.” ThinkingWayFeelsSelfViewsCompassionDependsInvolvedEgoSalvationIncludingAll TimeTranscendence Author:Frederick Lenz
“Whilst a man is persuaded that he has it in his power to contribute anything, be it ever so little, to his salvation, he remains in carnal self-confidence; he is not a self-despairer, and therefore is not duly humbled before God, he believes he may lend a helping hand in his salvation, but on the contrary, whoever is truly convinced that the whole work depends singly on the will of God, such a person renounces his own will and strength; he waits and prays for the operation of God, nor waits and prays in vain” MenBelieveMayLittlesPersonsSelfWholeHelpingHandsWaitingDependsPrayingRemainsSalvationConvincedSelf ConfidenceContraryGods WillVainOperationsRenounceHelping Hand Author:Martin Luther

“It is absurd to think that anything in us could have the least influence upon our election. Some say that God did foresee that such persons would believe, and therefore did choose them; so they would make the business of salvation to depend upon something in us. Whereas God does not choose us FOR faith, but TO faith. "He hath chosen us, that we should be holy" (Eph. 1:4), not because we would be holy, but that we might be holy. We are elected to boldness, not for it.” ThinkingShouldBelievePersonsDoeMightWould BeInfluenceDependsHolyElectionSalvationChosenAbsurdBoldness Author:Thomas Watson
“Your salvation depends on what [Christ] has done for you, not on what you do for Him. It isn't your hold on God that saves you. It's His hold on you.” DoneChristDependsSalvation Book:Billy Graham in Quotes Source: Billy Graham in Quotes
“Do we refuse to forgive? God, too, will refuse to forgive us. As we treat our neighbors, so also does God treat us. The forgiveness or unforgiveness of your sins, then, and hence also your salvation or destruction, depend on you yourself. For without forgiveness of sins there is no salvation. You can see for yourself how serious it is.” DoeSinSeriousDependsDestructionTreatsSalvationForgivingRefuseNeighborForgiveness Of Sins Author:Tikhon of Zadonsk
