Christian Response: Witnessing To Mormons

529 Words3 Pages

Christian Response: Salvation, according to the Bible, is due to God’s grace and love. He provided Jesus as the sacrifice for the sins of the world. It’s through faith in the crucified and risen Jesus that we may be saved. Works are excluded (John 1:12; 3:16; Rom. 10:9-13; Eph. 2:8-9).

Mormons believe that we can live a perfect life. Matthew 5:48 states, “Therefore you shall be perfect, just as our Father in heaven is perfect.” Some believe Jesus didn’t really mean perfect, because that would require that we be flawless. Instead, we believe He was telling us to be mature.

2 Nephi ~ 25:23 – Saved by grace, after all we can do. Shows that they have a works based salvation.

We know that Salvation is faith in Jesus Christ alone.
Ephesians 2:8 ~ For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.

We must understand that we have a different view of Jesus:

Jesus is God versus Jesus is a

One can be saved by accepting Jesus Christ into your life, but this wasn’t the case for Langston Hughes when he wrote “Salvation”. Having portrayed himself as a young teenage boy when this piece was written and using the first person perspective, the pressure he felt wanting to actually see and feel Jesus is the main reason why he ruined it for himself, and he was not “saved”. The first two lines even say “I was saved from sin when I was going on thirteen. But not really saved.”
