"We preach, at God’s command, the way of salvation by mercy, not by merit; by faith, not by works; by grace, not by the efforts of men. May God help us so to set forth that principle, that many may accept it. I do not care one snap of my finger about preaching so that the style shall please the ear, but I long to reach your hearts. I want you to receive the only sure method of salvation, and I pray the Holy Ghost to baptize my words in his own mighty fire, and make them to burn their way into your hearts, and subdue you to the obedience of faith." — CH Spurgeon
In "The Great Jail, and How to Get Out of It," Charles Spurgeon uses Galatians 3:22 to illustrate humanity’s imprisonment under sin. He emphasizes that salvation through works is impossible, and only faith in Jesus Christ can deliver one from this prison. This sermon contrasts human efforts to earn salvation with the grace-based salvation offered by God through Christ.

"If you can save yourselves by your works, go and do so, fools that you are, for you might as well hope to drink dry the Atlantic."
"The sinfulness of all men is abundantly taught in Scripture; indeed, it is to be found on every page of it."
"Religious or irreligious, the broken law shuts up all men in the selfsame prison."
"The Lord Jesus Christ has come to bring to all those who believe in him a complete deliverance from the bondage of the law. The man who believes in Jesus is forgiven; the very moment he believes, all his transgressions are blotted out, and from that moment he is just in the sight of God."
