11 passages from patristic writers, Reformers, and church catechisms citing this verse.
Nothing can be more intrinsically excellent than the text, "By grace are ye saved through faith." The whole of religion is comprised in these few words. It includes all that is wrought in the soul by what is frequently termed "preventing grace" — all the drawings of the Father, the desires after God. It includes both justification and sanctification.
Q. What does the third request mean? A. Your will be done, on earth as in heaven means: Help us and all people to reject our own wills and to obey your will without any back talk. Your will alone is good. Help us one and all to carry out the work we are called to, as willingly and faithfully as the angels in heaven.

This assurance of perseverance, however, so far from making true believers proud and carnally self-assured, is rather the true root of humility, of childlike respect, of genuine godliness, of endurance in every struggle, of fervent prayers, of steadfastness in cross-bearing and in confessing the truth, and of well-founded joy in God. Reflecting on this benefit provides an incen…

For these people show that they do not know the effective op…

We believe the first man created by God to have fallen in Paradise, when he disregarded the commandment of God and yielded to the deceitful counsel of the serpent. And hence hereditary sin flowed to his posterity; so that none is born after the flesh who beareth not this burden, and who experienceth not the fruits thereof in this present world. But by "burden" and "fruits of si…
We believe the Lord Jesus Christ to be the one Mediator between God and men; the eternal High Priest, who by the sacrifice of Himself upon the Cross reconciled the Father to us, and offered Himself a ransom for all, not for the elect only, as the abominable heresy of Calvin teaches. For Christ tasted death for every man. He hath achieved the redemption of all mankind, and His d…
Man's only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ the Son of God. Conditions to Salvation: Salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ. By the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost, being justified by grace through faith, man becomes an heir of God.
