The apostle Peter said to Jesus:

“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
—Matthew 16:16.

Jesus responded to this confession of faith by saying:

“On this rock I will build my church.”
—Matthew 16:18.

Belief in Jesus Christ is the foundation of genuine religion, the “rock” on which the true church is built. Just as there is only “one God, the Father” and “one Lord, Jesus Christ” our Saviour (1 Corinthians 8:6), so there is only one true religion:

“One Lord, ONE FAITH, one baptism.”
—Ephesians 4:5.

“There shall be ONE FLOCK, and one shepherd.”
—John 10:16

Christianity teaches the truth as revealed in the Word of God. Jesus said,

“You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me.”
—John 5:39.
