Many noble souls are deceived and misled by the wrong standard. Some are
taught that just so they live a good moral life and occasionally do a good
deed like the good Samaritan, they will go to heaven at death. But they
overlook the positive law of Christ: "Ye must be born again. Except a man
be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of
God" (John 3:5), "and not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall
enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father
which is in heaven" (Matt. 7:21). "He that believeth and is baptized shall
be saved" (Mk. 16:16).
How clearly does the Bible teach that all men must enter into Christ's body. He is the true vine and we are commanded to enter into Him and abide in Him. Our good deeds are ever to be commended, but they must be done in the name of Christ. When Christ's law comes to the heart, the good conscience will not rest, but urge men to enter into Christ's kingdom and follow no longer the false standard. Thousands of good people have been and are being misled by men's creeds and confessions of faith. |
