Two Religions

“Essentially there are only two religions in the whole world. One of them is “I”…I live a good life, I keep the commandments, I pray, I go to church, I follow the Golden Rule, I love my neighbor, I do the best I can, I don’t do this bad thing, I don’t do the other. That’s called autosoterism, or self-salvation where I become my own savior, glory be to me. I’m in competition with Jesus Christ who claims to be the Savior of the world. The only other religion is the cross, symbolized and standing right behind me. All…there are over 30,000 religions in the world but when you take off the ribbon and the wrapping and open the box, you’ll either find the “I” or the cross essentially. And everyone is going to either be saving himself and be his own savior, or he’s going to trust in Christ and in Christ alone. And I would say to anyone that wants to know the free salvation of God to get out of the savior business, declare spiritual bankruptcy, turn to Christ and trust in Him alone for your salvation and He will freely give you the gift of everlasting life. He will come into your heart and enable you to trust Him and to repent of your sins and change your life and give you new meaning and new direction and new power to live a godly life. And He will take you to be with Him in paradise forever and ever.” – D. james Kennedy

One response to “Two Religions

  1. “What has happened before will happen again. What has been done before will be done again. There is nothing new in the whole world.” (Eccl. 1:9)

    Just as surely, the old contest (Gen. 2: 7-17) between GOD RELIANCE (the “tree of life”) vs. SELF-RELIANCE (the “tree of knowledge of what is good and what is bad”), already won decisively in favor of the former (Luke 23:43), is continuing for scraps by the latter!
