"Salvation is of the LORD." -Jonah 2:9

The Bible tells us there is only one way of salvation for sinners the way of God’s free, sovereign grace in and by the Lord Jesus Christ.  Jesus Christ crucified is the only way of forgiveness of sins and righteousness before God.  The Lord Himself said, “ I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me” (John 14:6).  Peter said, “ Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).  The Bible tells us God commands sinful men to seek salvation by seeking Christ, for He is salvation (Isa. 45:21-25; 55:6-7).  We know all who truly seek Him will find Him (Matt. 7:7-8).  The Bible also tells us sinful men by nature will not of their own wills seek the Lord (Psalm 14:2-3; Rom. 3:10-12).  The Bible tells us any sinner who truly seeks the Lord has been given a new heart, a new spirit, and a new will by the Holy Spirit as He makes the Gospe...
