Bible Question: Are Catholics saved? My room mate is a very religious person, but I know that Jesus spoke against this to the Pharasies. I asked her if she had a personal relationship with Jesus and she hesitated. I told her that I would pray for her salvation, because when you are saved you know it. Thanks . |
Bible Answer: Dear friend just because you are religious doesn't get you to heaven you must confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord and ask Him to save you from your sins that is what saves you. If you could be saved by being religious Jesus would not have had to come and live adn die for your sins. I am so glad that he did because I could never be religious enough to get into heaven religion is not enough. |
