RHAPSODY OF REALITIES **Jesus Is The Answer** Friday 8th July . Pastor Chris
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name
under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved (Acts 4:12).
There’s no religion, no religious leader, no methods, or medium under
heaven for man’s salvation, except by the Name of Jesus. As clear as
this is in the Scriptures, there’re some who contend with it, stating
that there’re many ways to God. But this is the Word of God! There’s no
other name under heaven, given to men for salvation, except the Name of
Jesus. In John 14:6, Jesus said unequivocally, “...I am the way, the
truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
There may be many that are called gods, but there’s only one God, and
one mediator between God and men—the man, Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2:5).
He’s the only One who reconciles men to God; the only One who bridges
the gap, and makes friendship and peace between God and man. This should
be your conviction, and enough motivation to preach the Gospel.
Romans 5:1-2 says, “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace
with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by
faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory
of God.” Man had no hope until Jesus
came. Man had been separated
from God, and from His glory; there was no way for him to be reconciled.
That’s the reason for all the religions of the world; they’re seeking a
way to come back to God. But Christ is the answer. He made it possible
for us to receive the God-life, ushering us into God’s presence.
As
a Christian, you must be absolutely convinced that there’s no salvation
in any other but Jesus. Be convinced that He’s the answer, the water of
life to quench man’s thirst forever. He’s the only hope for the world.
Man is doomed without Jesus; so let’s not act or pretend as though
there’re alternatives. Jesus is the way—the ONLY way.
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for your grace that’s manifested to save,
heal, deliver, uplift and prosper all those who embrace the Gospel of
Christ’s saving power today, as it’s preached around the world. Through
renewed efforts, I’m committed to world evangelization, in Jesus’ Name.
Amen.

John 14:5-6
Thomas saith unto him,
Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man
cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Romans 5:1-2
Therefore
being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus
Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we
stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Philippians 2:9-11
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which
is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of
things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And
that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory
of God the Father.
