THERE ARE ONLY TWO RELIGIONS IN THE WORLD

There are many churches and denominations. Some are liberal. Others are conservative. Some are large, wealthy, and influential. Others are small, poor, and insignificant. But, if you cut through the trappings of the various religions of the world and get to the heart of things, you will find that really there are only two religions in the whole world. The one is true. The other is false.

TRUE RELIGION, THE RELIGION OF THE BIBLE, IS THE RELIGION OF FREE GRACE. It traces salvation to God. It ascribes the entire work of salvation to God alone. It makes election, redemption, regeneration, preservation, and glorification to be the works of God's free grace alone. ALL FALSE RELIGION IS THE RELIGION OF FREEWILL. No matter what denominational name it wears, freewillism traces salvation to man. It does not omit God altogether. (Satan is too sly for that!) But it ascribes salvation to man, not to God. It makes the determining factor in salvation to be the will, work, and worth of man. Whereas the Word of God makes salvation to be determined by the will of God (Rom. 9:11-18), the worth of Christ (I Pet. 3:18; Rom. 3:24-26), and the work of God the Holy Spirit (John 6:63).

Is your religion true, or false? Think about it? Does your religion glorify God, or man? Read Proverbs 16:25. THE RELIGION OF THE BIBLE HONORS THE TRIUNE GOD ALONE (I Cor. 1:30-31).
