The true way of salvation can be summed up like this: it is entirely the result of God’s election.

“The true way of salvation can be summed up like this: it is entirely the result of God’s election. There is only one explanation of why any single person has ever been saved, and it is the action and the choice of God. There is nothing in us that contributes to salvation – nothing at all!” 

– Martyn Lloyd-Jones
