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, [405] let him be anathema.

Explication.

How could one say that Christ is saved, when the Lord Himself says, "I am the life;" [406] and, "I am come that they might have life;" [407] and, "He that believeth on me shall not see death, but he shall behold the life eternal?" [408]
