Banner of Truth 2013 Ministers' Conference
May 28-30, 2013
Elizabethtown, PA

We see that our whole salvation and all its parts are comprehended in Christ (Acts 4:12). We should therefore take care not to derive the least portion of it from anywhere else. If we seek salvation, we are taught by the very name of Jesus that it is ‘of him’ (1Cor. 1:30). If we seek any other gifts of the Spirit, they are found in his anointing. If we seek strength, it lies in his dominion; if purity, in his conception; if gentleness, it appears in his birth…If we seek redemption, it lies in his passion; if acquittal, in his condemnation; if remission of the curse, in his cross (Gal. 3:13); if satisfaction, in his sacrifice; if purification, in his blood; if reconciliation, in his descent into hell; if mortification of the flesh, in his tomb; if newness of life, in his resurrection…In short, since rich store of every kind of good abounds in him, let us drink our fill from this fountain, and from no other.”

John Calvin
