What does the Bible say about being religious versus being saved?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that being saved involves genuine faith and gratitude towards Christ, while being religious can be mere external observance without true transformation.

In Luke 17:11-19, Jesus encountered ten lepers who all received healing, yet only one returned to thank Him, illustrating a key distinction between being merely religious and truly saved. While the other nine lepers experienced a miraculous physical change, it was the one Samaritan who recognized the source of his healing as Christ and fell at His feet in worship and gratitude. This narrative emphasizes that true salvation entails a heart response and acknowledgment of Christ's authority and mercy, not just adherence to religious practices.
