How can I begin to describe the contribution “bells and whistles” have made to the salvation of souls? To the conversion of entire peoples, for that matter?

I didn't know bells and whistles "contributed" to saving our souls.

I believe Jesus saves my soul.

Jesus saves by Grace. Bells ring at the consecration to remind us that Jesus saves by Grace.

People forget easily. It is actually called recollection.

Martin Luther believed the same about his soul.

“I believe Jesus saves my soul.”

Only if you cooperate. He leaves you free to turn away.

And that is where “bells and whistles” play a role.
