What people say:

I was baptized. I went to Sunday School. I was confirmed. I even go to church sometimes
I'm justified because of the things I have done, and I think God would say that I'm a pretty good person. Look, I even know the Apostles' Creed!

What the Bible says:

Romans 2:28-29A man is not a Jew if he is only one outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. No, a man is a Jew if he is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man's praise is not from men, but from God.
Galatians 2:16Know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified.

What people say:
