One Way

Sola Christus

In a culture where mediocrity and political correctness drive "Christianity", I think it necessary to reflect on what Christ Himself said about salvation and how it come about.

John 14:6
(6) Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

The universalism creeping into our faith should drive you to its defense. Believers need to wake up and realize that Christ said He is the only way to the Father, and if anyone who claims to be regenerate says otherwise, they are in direct contradiction to God Himself!

Islam, Buddhism, Mormonism, etc. do not recognize Christ as He revealed Him self to us! So they are not going to be welcomed in to the Gates!

Modern Christians gravitate to this idea because it eliminates one of the most difficult aspects of their faith, the command to preach Christ and Him crucified! If everyone enters in, then there is no need to confront or contradict error or apostasy, because it wouldn't exist!

1 Timothy 2:5
(5) For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus

Salvation come from Christ alone, so the glory goes to Him alone!

Hebrews 9:11-12
(11) But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation)
(12) he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.

Christ came not only a sour mediator but as our High Priest, reconciling His sheep with the Father through His sacrifice alone.

There is one way to the Father, through Christ.
