“Where there is uncertainty concerning how salvation is attained, there will be confusion over whether it can be maintained.” (source)

“First of all, our assurance. If our salvation hinges on anything but the finished work of Christ on the cross, we are in trouble.” (source)

“The timing of your sins is irrelevant since they were all in the future from the perspective of the Cross. To disregard eternal security is to take away from what happened at Calvary.” (source)

“As long as I have an ongoing role in the salvation process, my natural tendency will be to focus on my behavior rather than on Christ.” (source)

“When I think of Calvary, and the price that was paid to provide me with salvation, the thought of my having the power to undo all of that seems preposterous.” (source)
