Topic VII.
If any one affirms that Christ is saved, and refuses to acknowledge that He is the Saviour of the world, and the Light of the world, even as it is written,135 Isa. ix.; Matt. iv.; John i.; iii.; viii.; ix.; xii. let him be anathema.
Explication.
How could one say that Christ is saved, when the Lord Himself says, “I am the life;”136 John xi. 25; xiv. 6. and, “I am come that they might have life;”137 John x. 10. and, “He that believeth on me shall not see death, but he shall behold the life eternal?”138 John viii. 51.
