Christ Is the Only Way

Scripture
Because Moab and Seir say, ‘Look! The house of Judah is like all the nations” Therefore behold, I will clear the territory of Moab.’
(Ezekiel 25:8)
Devotional
To liken the people of God with people of false gods is to equate the one true God with falsehood. All religions are not the same. It matters how and what you believe. Yes, much of the world is wrong, dead wrong in their worshipping of false gods. I have been rhetorically asked, “You mean to tell me that if you do not believe in Christ as Savior you are going to hell?” to which I must answer unequivocally, “Yes!” I do not say this arrogantly, but sadly. Jesus Himself said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”(1)
There are many decent people with bad religions. The overwhelming evidence of faith in Christ outweighs any other faith system. Put Christ to the test, you will find Him to be all that you need and all that He said He would be. There is a difference; there is only one true religion. Make sure you have found it.

Thought For The Day

“For family devotions, Martin Luther once read the account of Abraham offering Isaac on the altar in Genesis 22. His wife, Katie, said, ‘I do not believe it. God would not have treated his son like that!’ ‘But, Katie,’ Luther replied, ‘He did.’” W. Wiersbe, The Wycliffe Handbook of Preaching & Preachers.
