Not enough people. Sad but true. For many who call themselves 'Christians' and worship at Mega Churches follow the Anti Pope or go to "Church" Sunday then promptly go out and sin again? (Hello Baptists, Protestants of all stripe, Catholics and others) These are not Christians. Nor yet are those Christians who say only if you do x y or z will you be saved. Faith, in God the Creator in the heart and soul, is a rare and hard to find commodity. And it is by Faith and through the Grace of God you are saved, not by your good works or you being Baptized or confirmed. It is a start, but above all you must have Faith. Then you must live in harmony with the Commandments to avoid those deadly sins such as Greed, Gluttony, Envy, Sloth, Pride, Lust and Wrath. See that your actions do not stem from such motives. Then you will begin walking the difficult straight and narrow road that leads to God as a penitent and sinner on the Road to Galilei.. And there a few, very few today I would say do this. Or even care to try.
But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
