When someone asks me how a person
can be saved, we got to ask ourselves, what are you trying to be saved
from? There are so many things that happen in our life. We first
of all experience pain, sorrow, there is sickness, there is death,
and there is evil, where people hurt one another. There is war,
there is murder, there is fornication, there is rape, there is adultery,
and injustice, where the poor are treated badly, and so much
injustice is done. So all this we ask, there is
so much of mess in this world. So, what are you trying to get
out of? The question to be asked is how
did it all begin? All this mess began, death came
into the world, pain and suffering came into the world because our
first parents, Adam and Eve, rebelled against God and God
had warned them that if you eat of the tree of the knowledge
of good and evil, you will die, you will die. And therefore,
death came into the world, suffering came into the world. Now, how
do we get out of all this? Many people have invented ways,
ways to get rid of this sin in us, rebellion in us, the pain
and sorrow in us, and to get rid of death and have eternal
life. So many people have tried, and
there are many ways that people have invented, the Bible says
so, that God has made us straight, but we have invented many ways. many ways, and you can know for
yourself your traditions, your own religions, and the different
path that they bring about to get you out of it. But God says
there is only one way. There is only one way, and that
is through Christ Jesus. The Bible says all have sinned
and fallen short of the standards of God. Right? If there is one God, then there
will be one way. And so, that one way is that
which comes from God Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth.
He sent His Son, Jesus Christ. He sent His Son, Jesus Christ,
that He may take our sins upon Him, that He may conquer sin,
death and the grave and rise again. And that he would pour
his spirit upon those who now accept him as their Lord and
Savior. And once you do that, knowing
that there is no other way, that you are dead in your sins, in
your trespasses, and you cannot overcome. It is like a person
who is drowning, who does not know to swim. You see, that is
what sin has made us. We do not know the way, we are
in darkness, we do not have the ability, because how can a dead
person have the ability to do anything? And therefore, it is
like a man who is drowning. He doesn't know to swim. He cannot
swim by himself to safety, so he calls out, he cries out, help,
help. And that's how Christ is given
that authority. because He has gone through the
same path and have won victory over sin, death and the grave
and He has risen. And so now He comes to reach
out His hand to take you up and bring you out of that water which
makes you go down and die forever. So, there's no other way. That's why Jesus says, I am the
way, the truth and the life. No one can come to the Father
except through me. So if you accept Jesus as your
Lord and Master, Then He will give you the assurance of eternal
life. He will forgive you of your sins
and give you His Holy Spirit to overcome sin and live a holy
and righteous life. Then only with the life of Christ
Jesus in you, you'll be able to obey as Christ Jesus obeyed
the Father in all things.
