Why Is Jesus the Only Way for Us?
1 John 3:8 / He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work.
Hymn #305 Amazing Grace! How Sweet the Sound! (Unified Hymn 405)
1. People Who Can't Distinguish between Salvation and Life
Many people think that if they do good deeds, they'll be saved. Christianity isn't a religion, but life itself. Religion is man-made, but the Gospel is given by God. Religion is people searching for God, but the Gospel is God coming to people. Religion is based on the standard of people's actions, but the Gospel is based on the standard of God's salvation. Only when people come to the conclusion of Christ can they overcome the background of disasters, Satan, and Hell.
2. People Who Don't Realize the Condemned State of the Unsaved
All people are sinners. That's a result of the sin of being separated from God. Because of that sin, people follow the ruler of the kingdom of the air, and their posterity will be cursed. Knowing the state of destruction, the law of the Holy Spirit set you free from the law of sin and death. For you, who've been following evil spirits, the Spirit of Christ has come upon you to make you realize all things. More importantly, you've become God's temple and because of the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you're no longer under the Law. Even if difficulties come, by praying, God will give you true peace. Even if you can't pray, the Holy Spirit will help you to pray. Ultimately, God works in all things together to accomplish His will.
3. The Method to Enter the State of Salvation
If you abide in Jesus, then the life of Jesus will abide in you. To do that, you must be born again of water and the Spirit. That's why God gave His only begotten Son to give you eternal life.
4. Changes in Those Who Have Life
From the moment you believe in Christ, your spiritual family registry; status; and spiritual state change. In addition, the guidance of your life changes. There's absolutely no one who can snatch you out of the hands of Christ.
Starting now, three aspects must always be carried out. In all circumstances, by praying until the works; people; and fields that God has prepared become clear, you'll see what was hidden from long ages past. When works don't take place or when things are blocked, by discovering your God-given life turning points, you'll be able to see what's hidden now. By praying for God's power to come upon you before working or evangelizing, you'll see what's eternal.
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, thank you for making me Your saved child. I believe that I'll make my conclusion in "only Christ" on a daily basis. Starting now, help me to first and always possess Your concentration within any hardship so that I can stand as a witness of "only Jesus." In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
