by Gregory Thaumaturgus

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,^[1] let him be anathema.

Explication.

How could one say that Christ is saved, when the Lord Himself says, “I am the life;”^[2] and, “I am come that they might have life;”^[3] and, “He that believeth on me shall not see death, but he shall behold the life eternal?”^[4]
