Why Must You Believe in Jesus?
Acts 17:3 / “...explaining and proving that the Christ had to suffer and rise from the dead. This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Christ,' he said.”
Hymn #80 There Is No Name So Sweet (Unified Hymn 101)
Disasters continue to come to humanity. Behind those calamities, the backgrounds of Satan and Hell exist. That's why if it's Christ, those issues will end. This is because Christ is the true Priest who prevents disasters, the true King who has conquered Satan, and the true Prophet who opens the way to meet God. You need to know the ten reasons for believing in Jesus then convey the "imperativeness of Christ" to others.
1. Suffering, the Fundamental Problem, Other Religions, and the Law (Good Deeds) There are ten reasons why it must be "only Jesus." First, because people don't have Christ, they become spiritual beggars and spiritual orphans. In addition, they wander and live in suffering and don't even know the true subject of worship. Second, because people have been deceived by Satan, the fundamental problem of leaving God (Genesis 3:1-15 & Romans 3:23) and the events of Genesis 3, 6, and 11 are still ongoing. Third, because people don't know the fundamental problem, they're seized by other religions; struggle mightily; and become even more mired in their issues. Fourth, "Original Sin" can't be resolved even through the Law and good deeds.
2. The Solution, the Qualifications of the Savior, and True Salvation
God has given the solution. That solution is none other than Christ, (John 14:6) Christ is the Word who became flesh, (John 1:14 & 10:30) The fifth reason why it must be "only Jesus" is that Christ came "to destroy the devil's work." (1 John 3:8) As proof that Jesus was the Christ, He came as the offspring of the woman; died on the cross; and resurrected. This is the sixth reason. Ultimately, the one who possessed the qualifications of the Savior was none other than Jesus.
3. True Salvation, the Time of Salvation, the Method of Salvation, and the Status of Those Who've Received Salvation
If people believe in Jesus, the problems regarding their past; (Ephesians 2:1) present; (Ephesians 2:2) and future (Ephesians 2:6) will be resolved. This is true salvation. Then, when should people receive salvation? The time is now. (John 5:24) How must people receive salvation? It's by having faith in that name, (John 1:12, Romans 10:10, & Romans 8:2) At this time, their status changes into being children of God. These are the seventh to tenth reasons to believe in "only Jesus."
Starting now, all you have to do is pray for the Spirit of the Triune God; "The Throne's Blessing"; and the power to save the age to come upon you.
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, thank you for saving me. Help me become the one who knows "the absolute reason" for believing in "only Christ." May I be filled and be complete with Christ every day in order to enjoy everything. In doing so, may I become the witness who relays the "imperativeness of Christ." In Jesus Christ's name I pray. Amen.
