πŸ‘‘ The Saviour Who WillΒ 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).

Today’s Scripture tells us whoΒ aloneΒ can save man from the everlasting hellfire he deserves!

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 noΒ oneΒ standard to gauge everyone’s β€œgoodness?” They are β€œgood” according to whom, according to what standard? Remember, relative morality actually doesΒ notΒ 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 (Eph. 2:1-3),Β β€œshapen in iniquity [in the womb]” (Psa. 51:5), andΒ β€œcondemned already” (John 3:18), only the saints have come to realize their lost state. Job asked in Job 9:2,Β 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 theirΒ β€œrighteousnesses are as filthy rags” (Isa. 64:6), that they could never possibly make themselves rightΒ before a holy GodΒ (HeΒ isΒ theΒ standard; Rom. 3:23). The lost people, however, doΒ notΒ realize they are lost, for they believe their religious works β€œscore points” with God and make up for their sinful deeds (II Cor. 4:3,4). They ignore the finished crosswork of Jesus Christ as sufficient payment for their sins (I Cor. 15:3,4).

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

[…] The reason Paul wasn’t ashamed of the gospel of salvation is that it revealsΒ the righteousness of God.Β That is, the gospel of β€œChrist died for our sins” (1 Cor. 15:1-4) reveals how God doesn’t unrighteously sweep our sins under the rug and sneak us in the back door of heaven when the devil isn’t looking. He canΒ righteouslyΒ save us because His Son died toΒ payΒ for our sins. […]
