282. Those who are born within the Church ought to acknowledge the Lord, His Divine and His Human; and they ought to believe in Him, and to love Him; for all salvation is from the Lord. This the Lord teaches in John (iii. 36), "He that believeth on the Son hath eternal life; but he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth with him." Again, "This is the will of Him that sent Me, that every one that seeth the Son, and believeth on Him, may have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day" (John vi. 40). And again, "Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life. He that believeth in Me, though he should die, yet shall he live; but every one that liveth and believeth in Me shall not die to eternity" (John xi. 25, 26).
