    Millions of people will find disappointment on that final day because they trusted in their own works rather than Christ for salvation.

    Don't Accept Any Substitutes

    Contributed by Edward Frey on Jun 5, 2002
    based on 34 ratings
     | 7,210 views

    There is no substitute for salvation through faith in Christ. There is no substitute for those who clearly teach such truth!

    We live in a world of substitutes from substitute teachers to sugar substitutes.

Saccharin doesn’t really taste like sugar. ...read more
