Remember, sinner, it is not thy hold of Christ that saves thee -- it is Christ; it is not thy joy in Christ that saves thee -- it is Christ; it is not even faith in Christ (though that is the instrument) -- it is Christ's blood and merits; therefore, look not to thy hope, but to Christ, the source of thy hope; look not to thy faith, but to Christ, the author and finisher of thy faith..

~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon

..we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved..

~ Acts 15:11
