DLord 18 - Salvation by the Lord

DLord 18 [2]

Salvation by the Lord . . .
can be ascribed to a person after he repents,
that is, after he has seen and acknowledged his sins
and then desisted from them,
doing so in obedience to the Lord.
Salvation is then ascribed to him
in the measure that he is saved,
not by his own merit,
or in consequence of his own righteousness,
but owing to the Lord
who alone fought and overcame the hells
and who alone also afterward fights for a person
and overcomes the hells for him.
