[...] the Christian way
of salvation is narrow only so long as the Church chooses to let it
remain narrow. The name of Jesus is discovered to be strangely adapted
to men of every race and of every kind of previous education. And the
Church has ample means, with promise of God's Spirit, to bring the name
of Jesus to all. If, therefore, this way of salvation is not offered to
all, it is not the fault of the way of salvation itself, but the fault
of those who fail to use the means that God has placed in their hands.
- J. Gresham Machen (Christianity and Liberalism, Chapter 6: Salvation)
Veni, Domine Jesu - Come, Lord Jesus
"Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.
By myself I have sworn; from my mouth has gone out in righteousness a word that shall not return:
To me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear allegiance." - Isaiah 45:22-23 (ESV)
"Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts" - Psalm 95:7b-8a (ESV)
"Blessed is the one whose transfression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
Blessed is the man against whom the LORD counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit." - Psalm 32:1-2 (ESV)
"Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts" - Psalm 95:7b-8a (ESV)
