To make the statement, “Jesus is the only Savior” seems to have a ring of extremism. We find ourselves living during a time when “absolutes” are politically incorrect! The fact still remains that God’s Word, the Bible boldly and uncompromisingly affirms that there is only one way for people to be brought into a right relationship with God. Why is that? Why so absolute? Why so extreme? Why not, “many ways to the same God”. It all has to do with the fact that Jesus is the only who took the penalty of human sins upon Himself. Jesus is the only One whose death on the cross was a sufficient act of obedience to be received by the Heavenly Father as a full and complete payment for the redemption of all who would believe and put their trust in Christ. No religion and no religious leader has done this. None have been able to. They were not or are not the Only Son of God which the Father gave to be the sacrifice for human sin.
Jesus said of Himself, “I am the Way the Truth and the Life, no person comes to the Father except through me”. That is an absolute statement! That is an extreme statement, but one made by the only One who paid in full the extreme price to save us from our sins. Jesus is the only One worthy of our full love and devotion. He’s the only One who was capable of doing for us what we could not do for ourselves.
How do you know this is this is true? History clearly records the events of Jesus death. Skeptics may question His resurrection from the dead but one thing remains an absolute. Ask anyone who has truly been “Born Again”, and they’ll tell you without a shadow of doubt that Jesus is alive. Without His resurrection from the dead there is no new life, no salvation experience, no forgiveness, no “Born Again” experience.
As someone who experienced being “Born Again” over thirty years ago I’d be lying to you if I said I didn’t believe that Jesus was alive. Oh yes He’s alive alright, and He wants you to experience the blessing of sins forgiven. He wants to bless you with bringing you into a right relationship with the Father. He wants to bless your life with deep inner peace and security found only in His love and only through the sacrifice He made for you when He took your sins upon Himself on the cross. He died for you so that through Him you could live for God and with God throughout all eternity.
