Our Authoritative Religion
We have not time to elaborate it now, but we can state, that there is one religion that is the supreme and absolute authority—that is simply the religion of Christ. There is nothing but human authority in any other. That religion presents a heaven and a hell, the one as certain as the other. It is not to be tampered with, nor trifled with. It offers life and threatens death. It has justification and condemnation, its rewards and punishments. It has God in it, Christ and the Holy Spirit, prophets, apostles and martyrs. Men submit when they come to it, and yield to it, in doing which they submit and yield to its Divine Author. The secrets of men will be judged by Jesus Christ according to the gospel. If we expect to enter the everlasting city, we must listen to the Bible.
