How do you really know you are saved?” He replied, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved,.” He ripped off the words as fast as his little mouth could phrase them.

This is what happens when we replace CHRIST IN US with the keeping of laws as the means of living the Christian life. What could be more serious …
