“Oh, but,” you say, “I am not dead; I am all alive.” Yes, so you are; alive in sins. Alive to Satan, but dead to God. Have you heard the voice of the Son of God? Have you bowed to Jesus? If you have not, you are still dead. I care not how religious you may be. Can religion save a person? Look at Nicodemus, the most religious man then on earth, a Pharisee, a ruler. What does Jesus say to him? “You must be born again.” His religion was no use to him. It was the highest ecclesiastical council of the most religious nation that put the Lord to death. Satan will help you to be the most religious person in all the world, if he can only keep you from Christ.
