Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life!

1In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: 2Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. 3For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. 5But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.   2 Timothy 4:1-5

5Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? 6And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 7For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. 9The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, 10and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness. 2 Thessalonians 2:5-12

My heart is really aching for our church nowadays, it seems as if Jesus Christ and what He did for us on the cross is being pushed to the side as if it has no importance.   A different gospel is being preached, and souls are being lost.

In truth, Jesus Christ’s sole purpose in coming to earth was to die on the cross for our sins so we could have a way to heaven, so we could have eternal life with Him!      This earthly life is just a blip in time, eternity is what matters.   The only way that we can get to heaven is through Jesus Christ.  Again, I reiterate, there is no other way.   Jesus Himself said, “I am the way, the truth and the life, no man comes to Father but by me!”  He also said to Nicodemus in John 3:3 “I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.^a”  (Read the whole chapter for a great reminder of why Jesus came to earth).

There is no way around it, if people don’t come to know Christ Jesus as their Lord and Savior, they are going to die and go to hell for eternity.

This world is hopeless, dying and falling apart, the only hope for it is Jesus Christ.   As believers, we must urgently spread this message at all costs.
