Why must a person enter through Christ to be saved?


IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: Why must a person enter through Christ to be saved?

Why isn’t it enough to be sincere, spiritual, religious, or moral? The answer from the Bible is that we are all sinners, and God is holy. God hates sin and must punish it. If we die in our sins we must be destroyed. In order for us to be saved from eternal destruction, we must find a way to get out from underneath the wrath of God.

So, how we get our sins cancelled out, atoned for, and forgiven? Even if we were to begin living a perfect life right now until we died, that would not cancel out all the sins we have already committed.
The Bible teaches us that there is only one sacrifice for sin that can cancel out all our debts – the cross of Jesus Christ! Because Jesus lived a perfect, sinless life, He could take our debt of sin upon Himself, so that when God’s wrath was poured out upon Him at the cross, He could receive the punishment that we deserved instead of us.

There is only one person in human history that suffered and died for the sins of mankind.
No one else ever did this. Budha, Mohammed, Confucious, Abraham, Moses, Joseph Smith or Sun Yung Moon – none of them ever died for sins, but Jesus did! Then He proved that He accomplished it by rising from the dead!
That’s why we must enter through Christ to be saved. Only Jesus Christ can cancel out our debt of sin! Listen to the testimony of God’s Word:

1 Pet.3:18 “Christ died for sins, once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God.”

Mt. 20:28 “the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”

Mt. 26:28 “this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins.”

LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME
DON'T LET ME BE CONDEMED OF YOUR DEATH AND YOUR BLOOD AT THE END OF MY LIFE.
