…[I]f you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.—Romans 10:9-10.

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.—Ephesians 2:8-9

I wonder if we preached these more, practiced lives that reflect these and that our souls are clean because of the sacrifice of Jesus (Romans 5:11) would less people be inclined to believe in the cleansing power of other things, like real and glass eggs.
