Christless Religion! (W.T. Turpin)

Matthew 7:22-23

Locuri din Biblie: Matthew 7     Cuvinte cheie: Gospel; Church; Regeneration

It may appear harsh to some who read this paper to have it stated that Christ is left out of the religion, or so-called Christianity of the great bulk of professors. Christianity is a word used to signify that a man is neither a Jew, Turk, infidel, ... mai multnor heretic, but without any sense of a soul really brought out of the world to God. In the popular use of the word, a man is said to be a good Christian though he has never believed on Jesus, has never known the forgiveness of his sins, has never known Christ. Then religion, too, is said to be the common portion of nearly all decent professors.

Proverbs 23:26

Locuri din Biblie: Proverbs 23     Cuvinte cheie: Gospel

Will that induce Him, who is of purer eyes than to behold iniquity, to look with favor upon me?
