Biblical truth: No one is saved apart from faith in Jesus Christ.
This blog addresses the fate of all people living after the time of Jesus. Names are important to God and to us. Names represent the essence of a person’s being – his character, his deeds, his personality and his will. This is especially true of Jehovah God who goes by many names, all of which describe His many attributes. The name of Jesus Christ represents a specific Person at a specific point in history who came down from heaven to give His life for the sins of mankind so that those who believe on His name may have everlasting life.
While Jesus may share similar characteristics with Allah, Krishna, Buddha, or any number of human prophets or pagan deities, the Lord Jesus Christ is a distinctively different person. God makes it clear in Scripture that salvation is given under no other name but Jesus. All the world’s religions, except Hinduism, claim their god is the only path to heaven. Common sense tells us if all paths lead to heaven then none do. There can be only one exclusive path to God and only Christianity has a body of proof to support their claim. Those who say there are many paths to heaven have no proof and they are lying to you. Satan is lying to you. Who will you believe, God or man?
Acts 4:12 – Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.
The Bible is God’s truth and it offers absolutely no hint that salvation is possible through any other means than by faith in the Person known by the name of Jesus Christ. God doesn’t want your salvation to be a mystery to you and it doesn’t have to be. God’s message to us, His beloved special creation, is clear. We can be sure of our eternal destiny in heaven if we place our faith in His Son Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. That means the vast majority of people on earth will ultimately wind up in hell because they don’t believe in the exclusivity of Jesus Christ. Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, atheists and adherents of all the other fake religions are destined for an eternity in hell because they have not believed in the one true path to God that could have saved them. I understand people may not be comfortable with that message but the truth of God’s Word is clear no matter how we may feel about it. The judgment of God is perfect so who are we to judge God?
1 John 5:13 – These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.
