Many of you were raised Catholic, and what were you trusting in to go to heaven?
Not faith in Jesus Christ.
The seven sacraments, your idolatry, last rites, confession, baptism.
You name it, the Eucharist. You weren't trusting in Jesus alone.
Because the Catholic Church adds many steps and many works to the process of salvation.
But there's no process of salvation. It happens in an instant.
You believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Think of the analogies of eating bread, drinking water, or opening a door.
It's like, after 25 minutes, I'm still in the process of drinking the water.
I'm still opening the door.
It happens in an instant.
