The Threefold Method of Salvation
- By innocent (Heb 9:14), shed (Mt 26:28), applied (Rev 1:5) blood (Heb 9:22).
- Through a person (Jon 2:9; Ac 4:12; 1Th 5:9; Heb 5:9).
- By grace (Eph 2:8-9; Tit 2:11).
The grace of God has ALWAYS been under attack!!!
Things That Accompany Salvation - Charles Spurgeon

Charles Spurgeon on Heb 6:9
“When the Apostle speaks of virtues and of graces, he calls them "things that accompany Salvation," not things which cause it. Our faith does not cause Salvation, nor our hope, nor our love, nor our good works; they are things which attend it as its guard of honor.” …
Charles Spurgeon on Heb 6:9 (cont.)
“The origin of Salvation lies alone in the sovereign will of God the Father; in the infinite efficacy of the blood of Jesus—God the Son, and in the divine influence of God the Holy Spirit. There are, however, "things that accompany Salvation."
Charles Spurgeon on Heb 6:9
“Before anything can be done in our salvation, there must come that Third Person of the Sacred Trinity. Without him, faith, repentance, humility, love, are things quite impossible. Even the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ cannot save until it has been applied to the heart by God the Holy Spirit.”
Divisions in the Church
All men are to stand against the Truth of Holy Scripture. Never pit man against man in your heart, for all are flawed and fall short of the glory of God! (1Co 3:1-11)
1Co 15:10
But by the grace of God I am what I am.

The Simplicity of Being Born Again - blog
The simple truth is that we must die to sin to be born again. A person who “dies in their sins” (John 8:24) is the person who goes to their grave refusing the simple words of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ…”For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it” (Mt 16:25).
Protestant Reformation Slogans (Latin)
- Sola fide: “by faith alone”
- Sola gratia: “by grace alone”
- Soli Deo gloria: “to God alone the glory”
God’s Salvific Plan
It is by grace (sola gratia) through faith (sola fide) that we are saved to God’s glory (soli Deo gloria).
