Man's Way and God's Way of Salvation

MAN has a variety of ways of salvation, perhaps an endless variety, God has but one. The heathen have their ways of salvation, though what salvation is they know not, but they often seek after that which shall deliver them from a bondage of which they are conscious. Chris­tians too, at least Christians by name, have their ways of salvation. There have been for hundreds of years in Christendom various efforts and plans for salvation, sometimes with the idea that salvation is obtainable in this life, at others, with the thought that only after long years of purgatorial pains can it be attained. But God has one way of salvation, and that is through the Savior, His Son, our Lord. His is the only name given among men whereby we can be saved, and Jesus says, "I am the door: by Me if any man enter in, he shall be saved."
