■ ■ . I "WThat happened was that I lost all my religion and I found ■ 8 Christ." m « ■ That’s what a man said to me who had recently become ■ saved. 18 ■ ■ And he was right. For years he had regularly been attend- ■ ng church and was religious — but lost! That is. he had |j ■ not been taught from God s Word. He had never learned a " that he was a condemned sinner in need of Jesus Christ as ■ Savior. So. of course, he had never taken Jesus for himself. ■ And yet he was a well-respected, religious person. a In the moral teachings of his church, the atonement for sin ■ _ through the work of Jesus on the cross was lost. He had to ■ lose his religion and faith in it for his salvation in order to ■ ? receive Christ. ■ i ■ ■ “YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN’’ _
