2 Religions in the World

Romans 3:21-22

But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it-the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe.”

The following quote was found in Christless Christianity by Michael Horton:

“Salvation, from start to finish, is his work for us, not a matter of saving ourselves or even of cooperating with him.  It is a divine rescue operation  Even our sanctification is grounded in God’s act of justifying us and uniting us, by his Spirit, to Christ’s death and life.  So there are really only two religions in the world: a religion of human striving to ascend to God through pious works, feelings, attitudes, and experiences and the Good News of God’s merciful descent to us in his Son.  The religions, philosophies, ideologies, and spirituality’s of the world only differ on the details.  Whether we are talking about the Dalai Lama or Dr. Phil, Islam or Oprah, liberals or conservatives, the most intuitive conviction is that we are good people who need good advice, not helpless sinners who need the Good News.”
