A GREAT, A FREE, A FULL & SURE SALVATION!
"Salvation
is wholly of grace; not only undeserved, but undesired by us, till He
is pleased to awaken us to a sense of our need of it. And then we find
everything prepared that our wants require, or our wishes conceive; yea,
that He has done exceedingly beyond what we could either ask or think.
Salvation is wholly of the LORD, and bears those signatures of infinite
wisdom, power, and goodness, which distinguish all His works from the
puny imitations of men. It is every way worthy of Himself, a great, a
free, a full, a sure salvation.
It is great, whether we consider the
objects, miserable and hell-deserving sinners; the end, (being) the
restoration of such alienated creatures to His image and favour, to
immortal life and happiness; or the means, the incarnation, humiliation,
sufferings, and death of His beloved Son.
It is free, without exception
of persons, or cases, without any conditions or qualifications, but such as He Himself performs in them, and bestows upon them."
—John Newton
