Dad's Ramblings -- Exclusive Faith

" 'Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.' "
 
                                                                                      Acts 4:12
 
The Jewish rulers brought Peter and John and asked them what authority or power they had when they spoke healing to the lame man. Peter answered that it was in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth – the very one they had crucified – that this good work was done. Then Peter went on to declare the exclusiveness of the Gospel – that there is no other way to salvation except through the name of Jesus. Jesus Himself had said that the way to life was narrow and that few would find it (Matthew 7:14), and that there was no other way to the Father except through Him (John 14:6). Satan has deluded people into believing that there are many paths to God – good works, religion, and universalism. Either Jesus is right or Satan is right. I choose to believe Jesus.  The Gospel is Exclusive.
 
Today's Thought: There is only one way to be saved, and that is through faith in Jesus Christ.
 
Have a believing day. Love you.
