Is there any way to determine what the true religion is? Is it anywhere distinctly set forth, revealed and embodied in writing, so that we can find it separate from everything else? It is distinctly set forth by Christ and his apostles, separate from everything else. They revealed it as complete religion in itself, containing all things necessary to life and godliness—the final the last will of God to man. It is the culmination, the embodiment and consummation of infinite wisdom and goodness in one religion, for all nations of men that dwell on all the face of the earth. Can we find it? Can we tell what it is? Can we practice and enjoy it? We claim that we can find it, practice it and enjoy it. Can we determine what it requires us to believe, what it requires us to do, and what it promises us? If we have to say no to all this, we are in a deplorable condition truly. But we claim that we can find the true religion, determine what it is, practice and enjoy it; that we can determine what it requires us to believe, what it requires us to do, and what it promises us. This being so, there is not an excuse for any man being irreligious, taking up with a wrong religion, thinking that something is the true religion that is not, believing something that it does not require, doing something it does not command, or hoping for something it does not promise. There is one book in which the religion of Christ is set forth. That one book is the Bible. In that book the one religion, the only true religion, is set forth; set forth correctly by the unerring Spirit of all revelation and all divine wisdom. Not another religion is found in that book, now in force. No man goes to that book to find an account of the Pope, a Cardinal, or an Archbishop of the Papal type. No man of intelligence goes there to find an account of Mohammed, or the Koran. No man of intelligence goes to the Bible to find an account of the Church of England, its origin, rise, or any part of its history. No man goes to the Bible to find an account of Lutheranism, its origin, rise, or any part of its history. There never was a Lutheran before Martin Luther lived, in the sixteenth century. No man goes to the Bible to find an account of the origin of Presbyterianism. There never was a Presbyterian before John Calvin. No man goes to the Bible to find the origin, rise, or any part of the history of Methodism. There never was a Methodist before John Wesley. We do not go to the Bible to find an account of George Fox, Ann Lee, Joe Smith, etc.; nor of Quakerism, Shakerism, or Mormonism. These persons are not Bible characters, and these religions are not Bible religions. They came not into existence till long ages after the last words of the Bible were written. The true religion had been in the world ages before these were born. This ends all controversy about their claims to be the true religion. The true religion was a finality. In its closing words it forbids any addition.
