One of you says, “I follow Paul”; another, “I follow Apollos”; another, “I follow Cephas”; still another, “I follow Christ.” Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into the name of Paul? (1 Corinthians 1:12–13, NIV 1984).
My Musings – In today’s world, people would say, ” I follow Islam.” Other’s will say, “I follow Hinduism.” Still others are saying, “I follow Buddhism.” And the list could go on. Estimates, which are very imprecise, vary from 4,000 to 10,000 distinct religions. But how many claim that God became man and died to save mankind?
My Advice – In choosing a religion to follow, this is the question to ask. Was any other founder of a religion crucified for us? “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12, NIV 1984). “Must be,” because no other can be.
