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,⁴⁰⁵⁴⁰⁵    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;”⁴⁰⁶⁴⁰⁶    John xi. 25; xiv. 6. and, “I am come that they might have life;”⁴⁰⁷⁴⁰⁷    John x. 10. and, “He that believeth on me shall not see death, but he shall behold the life eternal?”⁴⁰⁸⁴⁰⁸    John viii. 51.
