Excerpt from Salvation by Grace: Through Faith, A Discourse on Ephesians, II. 8. For by Grace Are Ye Saved Through Faith, And That Not of Yourselves: It Is the Gift of God For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. In whatever point of view we contemplate the divine economy, in the salvation of mankind, we are forcibly struck with admiration at the infinite wisdom displayed in every part. Who can spend a single reflection on the law of faith, without acknowledging that it is worthy of its infinitely wise Author? Whenever we see the production of any special good, it is well to know its cause or causes, that we may best know, either how to obtain such good, or to know to what the credit of such production is to be ascribed. To afford these advantages, it would seem, the Apostle so particularly points out in our text, the causes of Salvation, viz :grace and faith. In the discussion of this interesting subject, the following arrangement may be anticipated: I. A description of Salvation. II. A description of its causes. I. Salvation. This is a deliverance from all sin, and all its consequences, to be experienced partly in this, and wholly in the world to come. This we cannot better describe than by a detail of its ordinary progress through its different stages. The first instance of salvation to be recognised, is a deliverance from that blindness and insensibility, in which, the sinner with all his terrifying guilt and pollution, remains concealed from his own observation.
