In light of a recent conversation I had with a friend, I believe that it’s time to get back to basics in our faith in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It seems today that many people are no longer trusting the truth of how you get to heaven.
Jesus said in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes unto the father except through me.” Now the question each person must answer is, who is Jesus to you? C.S. Lewis once said that “Jesus is either who he said he was, or a lunatic or a liar.”
If Jesus is a liar or a lunatic, than Christianity is just another false religion. Since neither one of these characteristics is true about Jesus, then Jesus is who he said he was – that is, He is the Son of God who came to this earth, lived a perfect life and was slain for the sins of the world. Jesus rose from the dead and now sits at the right hand of God the Father. No one comes to God except through Jesus.
Jesus is the only way. No exceptions. The only way to get into Heaven is to confess your sins and receive Jesus into your heart as your Lord and Savior. As narrow as this way seems to be, it is open to every man, woman and child regardless of race – the only thing anyone needs to do to receive this free gift of God is believe and receive Jesus into your heart.
The Gospel is just that simple. It’s a free gift and you can do nothing to earn the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Jesus is who he said he was – He and the Father are one.
