The One Saviour.

THERE is but one Saviour from sin and its consequences in this universe—Jesus Christ. He of God is made unto us—sinners—"wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption." And this was done that man might not glory in himself or any other creature; but "he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord." 1 Cor. 1:30, 31.

Any religion, therefore, any system of philosophy, which offers man salvation in himself or in itself, is false. The Roman Catholic Church in practise, whatever it may teach in theory, makes that Church a saviour. Christian Science, and New Thought, and Theosophy, and other cults, make man divine and place his salvation within himself, where he is told to seek it. As well may he seek sweet water from a bitter fountain, or speech from the closed lips of the dead. Christ is the way, the truth, the life; and all salvation is from Him.
