THERE IS NO OTHER WAY!

Dearly Beloved, THERE IS NO OTHER WAY! “…then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed. He is ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the capstone.' Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:10-12 NIV). Many people desire to serve God. They do and believe all sorts of things to please Him. Many try to reach Him through other people and/or beings. No wonder, there are thousands of religions all over the world. Even, those that claim not to believe in the existence of God have things in them that they hold in high esteem in place of God. However, God does not hide Himself from His creation. He has made Himself known in many ways. He revealed Himself in the Holy Bible and clearly let people know what pleases Him. He can only be fully known and reached through His Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ made this known as He addressed His disciples: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6 NIV). As Peter and John were defending their faith before the Sanhedrin after the healing of the cripple man, they succinctly declared this fact (see Acts 4:10-12). Likewise, in his first epistle, John summarized it: God commands that people should come to Him through Jesus Christ (1 John 3:23). Only those who obey this command live in Him, and He lives in them also. There is no other way in which God has made Himself known that is acceptable to Him apart from this. It indeed makes Christianity to be exclusive of all world religions. There is no controversy about it. In what or who do you believe? Do you really believe in Jesus Christ as the Saviour and Lord of your life? There may be many ways in which people try to reach and please God. However, there is only one Way to do this. Jesus Christ is the Way. There is no other way! In His service, Bayo Afolaranmi (Pastor). Prayer Point: Pray that the Lord will open the eyes of people that are seeking Him in the wrong ways to the right Way.
