“He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.” | Mark 16: 16

Is salvation a mixture of grace and works? God forbid!

“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;” (Titus 3: 5)

Salvation is of the Lord!

“But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.” (Jonah 2: 9)

“A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.” (Ezekiel 36: 26)

Salvation is a work of God’s grace within the object of His mercy.

“As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.” (John 10: 15)

Salvation is a work evidenced by a willing heart of obedience to openly confess Christ Who died for the sins of His people.

“Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.” (Romans 4: 25)

Salvation is who was buried and three days later was raised for their justification.
