Religion vs. Salvation

From: Echoes of Grace: 1951

Religion is what man does for God. Salvation is what God does for man.—Isa. 53:6⁶All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. (Isaiah 53:6).

Religion depends on our behaving. Salvation depends on our believing. Acts —16:31.

Religion is striving for a better attainment. Salvation is secured through a perfect atonement. 1 Peter 1:18, 19¹⁸Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; ¹⁹But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: (1 Peter 1:18‑19).
