Chick tracts are small, cartoon-style pamphlets created by Jack T. Chick in the 1960s to spread evangelical Christian messages. Known for their vivid illustrations and straightforward narratives, these tracts address topics like salvation, sin, and various religious and social issues from a conservative Christian perspective. While praised by some for their bold evangelism, they have also faced criticism for promoting intolerance and simplistic views. Despite the controversy, Chick tracts remain a significant and unique tool in evangelical outreach.
Unfortunately, they teach an overt LORDSHIP SALVATION message and are therefore heretical.
Can they get someone's attention? Yes. Can they cause someone to seek Christ? Yes. Will that individual get a true and clear gospel message from these tracts? Sadly, no.
These things were HUGE in my early life. I can't overstate how important they were to me back then. But Praise God I was drawn to the true plan of salvation. The one that Chick Tracts does not tell, unfortunately.
What is the true Gospel? It is clearly enunciated in 1 Corinthians 15:1-3. Paul writes:
"Brothers and sisters, I would like to bring to your attention once again the message of the gospel that I shared with you. It is through this gospel that you have received salvation and have taken a firm stand. It is crucial that you hold steadfastly to the teachings that I have imparted to you. Otherwise, your belief would be in vain. The most significant aspect of this message that I received and passed on to you is that Christ died for our sins as foretold in the Scriptures. He was buried, and on the third day, He rose again, just as the Scriptures had prophesied."
And what is the true plan of salvation? It is found in Acts 16:30-31
"The jailer then led Paul and Silas out and asked them, 'Sirs, what must I do to be saved?' They said, 'Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved. You, and your house.'"
And that's it. We are saved by FAITH in CHRIST. Period.
