Our Whole Salvation (Calvin)

"We see that our whole salvation and all it's parts are comprehended in Christ. 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.
If we seek any other gifts of the Spirit, they will be found in His anointing.
If we seek strength, it lies in His dominion. 

If purity, in His virginal conception.
If gentleness, it appears in His birth; for by His birth, He was made like us in all respects that He might feel our pain.
If we seek redemption, it lies in His Passion.
If acquittal, in His condemnation.
If remission of the Curse, in His cross.
If satisfaction, in His sacrifice.
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 Christ, let us drink our fill of this fountain and from no other. "
~John Calvin (The Institutes)
