In Name Only

Mere membership of the church means nothing in and of itself. Judas was one of the twelve and yet he was lost. He was one of those who was sent out with the others and he was one of those who had listened to the most intimate teaching. He was right in the inner circle and yet he was the son of perdition. This is why Scripture constantly exhorts us to examine ourselves. A mechanical position does not guarantee that there is life.

The mere fact that I am interested in Christian things does not prove I am a Christian.

Martyn Lloyd-Jones (Safe in the World)
