Only One Way

Whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.  Revelation 22:17

 

A driver stopped to ask the way to a certain street. When told, he asked doubtfully, "Is that the best way?" The man replied, "That is the only way."

There is only one way of salvation--and that is Christ. Jesus said, "No man cometh unto the Father but by me" (John 14:6). Peter declared, "There is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved" (Acts 4:12).

Is this arrogance or intolerance? No--and Christians must never be guilty of these attitudes. We are saved solely by God's grace; we do not deserve it. But Christ was God's appointed means of salvation. Only Christ died for our sins; only Christ rose from the dead.

God's offer of forgiveness and new life still stands. If you have never done so, turn to Christ today. And if you do know Him, pray today for someone you know who does not yet believe, and ask God to help you tell that person of His salvation.
