IT'S NOT A RELIGION
(Jesus Is The Only Way!)
TO THE BIBLE
Acts 4:11-12 GNB
"Jesus is the one of whom the scripture says, "The stone that you the builders despised turned out to be the most important of all." Salvation is to be found through him alone; in all the world there is no one else whom God has given who can save us."
LET'S TALK
There are people who say, "I believe in Jesus Christ, but He's not the only saviour in the world. There are other religions in the world that save or help people, and bring peace to mankind." It's obvious that those who make such statements or uphold similar beliefs are ignorant of the Scriptures. God's Word is clear on this: salvation comes by no other way and through no other name, except by the Lord Jesus Christ! He's the only Way to the Father, for He said, "...I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me" (John 14:6 AMP). That's an unmistakable, clear-cut statement from the Master! Therefore, it's wrong to say there are other ways to God, apart from Jesus Christ.
Romans 1:4 tells us that He was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead. No one else has been so described in all of history.
The Scriptures firmly declare that He was raised from the dead, and He's alive forever more. There's no religion in the world that declares its leader to be alive, after having died-absolutely none! When they died, that was their end. Only Jesus died, was buried, and was raised back to life by the glory of the Father, and physically levitated to Heaven in His glorified bodily form.
He didn't come to bring us religion; rather, He brought to us a new kind of life-the divine life of Almighty God! That's what Christianity is all about-it's the pulsating life of the risen Christ in a human person. It's divinity alive in humanity; it's Christ taking up His home in the quarters of your heart. So, in Christianity, you don't come into a religion, but into Christ! You embrace the transcendent life of dominion, excellence, power, righteousness, and boundless joy that's only available in Him.

Hebrews 7:25
Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
Acts 16:31
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Pray
Dear Father, thank you for the eternal salvation you've made available through your Son, Christ Jesus, the Great Shepherd. My life is fully established in Him. Thank you for opening my eyes to His wondrous perfections and glories in my life. Amen.
Act
Take your Bible today and ponder on John 10:10.
