Adam Clarke Bible Commentary
But I will sacrifice unto thee - I will make a sincere vow, which, as soon as my circumstances will permit, I will faithfully execute; and therefore he adds, "I will pay that which I have vowed." Salvation is of the Lord - All deliverance from danger, preservation of life, recovery from sickness, and redemption of the soul from the power, guilt, and pollution of sin, is from Jehovah. He alone is the Savior, he alone is the Deliverer; for all salvation is from the Lord.

Ministry From Jonah 01
By Welcome Detweiler38809:19JON 1:1JON 1:9JON 2:2JON 2:9JON 3:1In this sermon, the preacher focuses on the story of Jonah from the Old Testament.

Experimental Salvation
By A.W. Pink0Sovereign GraceTrue SalvationISA 53:3JON 2:9MAT 13:20JHN 15:5ROM 5:6ROM 8:8EPH 2:8A.W. Pink emphasizes that true salvation is entirely the work of the Lord, planned by the Father, purchased by the Son, and applied by the Holy Spirit. He warns that many in Christendom may believe they are saved while lacking a genuine experience of divine grace in their hearts. Pink distinguishes between intellectual belief and a heartfelt relationship with Christ, stressing that true faith and repentance are gifts from God, not mere human efforts. He highlights the necessity of God's sovereign grace in effecting salvation, as humans are incapable of achieving it on their own. Ultimately, Pink calls for self-examination to ensure one's faith is rooted in a true, transformative experience of God's grace.
