  At the beginning of this program we learned: “People have many reasons for rejecting the Christian faith. Some may admire Christ but dislike His followers. Others find it difficult to accept any faith that claims to be the only way to God. Why would anyone limit themselves to only one of the world’s great religions?” How valid are each of these objections? What is your response to each?

  Jesus’s claims and miracles were accurate and valid based on numerous eyewitness accounts. He and the Father are one. Therefore He has the authority to calm storms and bring healing and restoration as revealed in Scripture. Since He established His authority as “I AM”, there is no other way to God. No man comes to the Father except through Jesus, His Son.

  These objections make sense coming from the world’s point of view, but are not valid.

  Disliking Christ’s followers (or Christians) stems from hypocrisy that comes from being human. As a human, who isn’t perfect, we make mistakes. Sometimes these are large and in the public eye. Those moments, paint a picture of Christianity that isn’t a true picture of who Christ is.

  A person would limit themselves to one religion because Jesus is the only one in all religions to show that He is who He said He is. He is “the way, the truth and the life”. The only way, truth and life.

  A reason someone might limit themselves to only one of the world’s great religions is that they offer comfort and truth. When one believes in a higher power, such as Jesus Christ, they put their faith into something bigger than themselves. They need not worry about the petty problems on this world because their hope is found in an eternal God that promises an aterlife of complete and utter joy. For example, when one chooses to follow Jesus and accept Him as their Savior, they no longer have to put their hope in this world. Christianity promises salvation when you accept Jesus as your God and Savior. It is not “limiting” but instead FREEING when one chooses to follow Jesus Christ.

  If one truly studies the Scriptures and sees how Jesus’ life on earth fulfilled all that was foretold of Messiah coming and how He would die, one cannot deny the truth. The fact that there are so many prophecies in Scripture that were fulfilled show that this did not happen by chance. Jesus was foretold of being born of a virgin, born in Bethlehem, suffering on the cross, being the eternal king of which His reign would never end, etc. All of these were written by different authors at different times in History yet they all were fulfilled in Christ. If those Pharisees had really read the Old Testament Scriptures, they would have seen it too! Because of the life Jesus lived, HE is THE WAY, THE TRUTH, and THE LIFE. Truly, no one can earn their way to heaven through different religions. Jesus had to COME DOWN to us – Emmanuel – God With Us. The Lord spoke of this all through the Old Testament.

  Religion around the world asks, “Why is Christianity the only way to salvation?” Nevertheless, based on the Bible, I am saying that Jesus is the only way to salvation. In today’s expansion of pluralism, the responsibility of our Christians is great.
