πŸ‘‘ A Saviour Who Will Save

β€œβ€¦Jesus Christ of Nazareth… Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:10,12).

A frequent objection made against Christianity is that every religion has β€œgood” members, and to ignore them and limit heaven to a few Christians is unfair. This is a defected notion. How does one arrive at a definite conclusion when there is no one standard to gauge everyone’s β€œgoodness?” They are β€œgood” according to whom, according to what standard? Remember, relative morality actually does not help the sinnerβ€”he may be a β€œbetter” sinner than another, but he is also a β€œworse” sinner than yet another, and whether β€œbetter” or β€œworse,” he is still a sinner!

The God of the Bible has a simple method for determining righteousness. Today, He sees two types of peopleβ€”saints and lost people. While both groups were born in sins (Ephesians 2:1-3), β€œshapen in iniquity [in the womb]” (Psalm 51:5), and β€œcondemned already” (John 3:18), only the saints have come to realize their lost state. Job asked in Job 9:2, β€œHow should a man be just [righteous, acceptable] with God?” Saints have come to the acknowledgement that they needed God’s righteousness, that they had a massive sin debt that they could never satisfy, that their β€œrighteousnesses are as filthy rags” (Isaiah 64:6), that they could never possibly make themselves right before a holy God (He is the standard; Romans 3:23). The lost people, however, do not realize they are lost, for they believe their religious works β€œscore points” with God and make up for their sinful deeds (2 Corinthians 4:3,4). They ignore the finished crosswork of Jesus Christ as sufficient payment for their sins (1 Corinthians 15:3,4).

Saints have come by faith to Jesus Christ, whose name literally means, β€œAnointed Saviour” (cf. Psalm 2:2; Matthew 1:21). As the writer of the book of Hebrews said, β€œ[Jesus] is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him” (7:25). Literally, no world religion has such a β€œSaviour” as Jesus Christ! source
