What does the Bible say about two religions?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible reveals that there are only two religions: salvation by grace through faith, as exemplified by Abel, and salvation by works, as demonstrated by Cain.

In scripture, particularly in Matthew 7 and the book of Genesis, we see the distinction between two fundamental religions. Abel represents those who worship God in spirit and in truth, acknowledging their sinfulness and relying on the sacrifice of a substitute. Cain, on the other hand, embodies those who trust in their own works and efforts for acceptance, leading to rejection by God. This division is seen throughout biblical history, culminating in the final judgment when the righteous (the sheep) will be separated from the wicked (the goats). Thus far, this separation is not new, but has existed since the fall of man and will continue until the end of time.
