Answer to an Honest Inquirer

R. L. Ziller

Hon. George W. Savage, House of Representatives, Austin, Texas.

Dear Sir:—Your letter of inquiry is before me, and as you say the questions are asked in the spirit of kindness, I will endeavor to give them such consideration as I can in a letter, trusting that you will receive the answer in the same kindly spirit. You refer me to Acts, 2:37 ; 9:6 , and 16:30 , and ask, "What answer do Christian Scientists make?" The substance of these verses is this: "What must we do to be saved?" I would answer in Bible language, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ." This includes more than is apparent at a glance. It means vastly more than the mere belief that Jesus was the one sent to redeem the world. If we believe in the Master, we shall believe that his words were true, that his commands were to be fully obeyed, and that he is "the way, the truth, and the life."
