Which Church Saves?
Two people were having a discussion on
religion one day. This is how it went:
“Do I have to become a Protestant to be saved?”
“Not at all! I wouldn’t waste my time trying to convert you to Protestantism.”
“But you don’t believe that the Catholic Church can save, do you?”
“No, I don’t.”
“Well, I am a Roman Catholic and my friends are members of the Greek Orthodox Church. You say that neither one can save, and you are a Protestant. Don’t you want us to turn Protestant also?”
“No, I don’t. I have never asked any Catholic to become a Protestant.”
“You haven’t! I don’t understand. Don’t you believe that Protestantism can save?”
“No, I don’t.”
“You don’t! What then—? How can one be saved?”
“Neither the Roman Catholic, the Greek Orthodox, or the Protestant Church can save your soul. No church can save, but the LORD JESUS CHRIST can.”
“JESUS!”
“That’s right: one is not saved by a Church, either Catholic or Protestant, but through a Person—the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son.”
“Can it be possible? I’ve never heard this before!”
“You see, it would do you no good to become a Protestant, for there are thousands of Protestants who are not saved; there are thousands who have embraced Christianity, but have never accepted the Christ of Christianity personally as Saviour.”
“Is that why we have not found peace? Is there no peace in Catholicism?”
“No, there’s not—and none in Protestantism either. Peace is only found in Jesus. Religion cannot save; Christ alone can.”
“Are you sure about this?”
“Don’t just take my word for it. God says very plainly that salvation is only through Jesus: ‘Neither is there salvation in any other [Protestant, Catholic, or other]: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved’ (Acts 4:12).”
“Is that the only Scripture that says this?”
“No, turn to Matthew 1:21: ‘Thou shalt call His Name JESUS: for He [not the Catholic priest nor the Protestant minister, but He—Jesus Christ] shall save His people from their sins.’”
“I’ve been trusting the wrong things! What should I do?”
“‘Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved’—‘as many as received HIM, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name’ (Acts 16:31; John 1:12).”
“But are you sure that He will receive me?”
“Jesus Himself said, ‘Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out’ (John 6:37). He loves you so much that He died for you. He bore your sins as He hung on Calvary, facing God’s judgment in your place. Now accept Him, trust His finished work as all the payment necessary for your salvation. God says that salvation is a “free gift” that is simply accepted “through faith … not of works” (Romans 5:15; Ephesians 2:8,9). Trust Him—and only Him—now as your Saviour and Lord, for He will have mercy and abundantly pardon (Isaiah 55:7).”
“Thank God!”
“When you do this, you will not only be saved, but you will be a member of the only Church the Bible knows—the Body of Christ (Ephesians 1:22,23; 1 Corinthians 12:12,13), of which Christ alone is the Head (Colossians 1:18). The Lord Himself adds to this Church daily those who are saved (Acts 2:47).”
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that heareth My word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life” (John 5:24).
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8,9).
