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

Answered in 1 source

The Bible distinguishes between mere religion and true salvation through faith in Christ.

In Luke 17:11-19, we see ten lepers who were all healed by Jesus; however, only one returned to thank Him. This difference highlights that while all ten had a religious experience, only one had saving faith. True salvation involves recognizing who Jesus is and understanding that it is He alone who accomplishes healing and salvation. The other nine were likely thankful and excited for their physical healing, but they did not have the spiritual insight that the one who returned displayed—a comprehension of the grace and mercy of Christ.
