Jesus said unto him, "I am the way, and the truth,
and the life; no one comes to the father
but through Me.
John 14:6 NASB
People everywhere are looking for peace. Eternity looms in the minds of the masses of humanity who will one day stand before God and be judged for their deeds (2 Cor 5:10, Rev 20:12, 22:12).
Multitudes are counting on their good deeds somehow outweighing their bad deeds on the scales of God's justice. People are going through religious rituals, hoping that God will be pleased by this and allow them entrance into paradise. In spite of all this effort however, their is no peace, no assurance, no certainty of heaven, in the hearts of countless numbers of searching souls.
The various religions of the world offer very little in the way of assurance. The Hindu hopes that through cycles of reincarnation he can finally achieve a better life. The Muslim religion teaches that Allah will judge them according to their deeds, so hopefully the good outweighs the bad. Yet there is no concrete assurance of heaven. The Qur'an states in surah 46:9, "I am nothing new among the prophets; what will happen to me and my followers, I do not know; I am only a plain warner."
Mohammed did not have assurance for his own salvation, and that of his followers as well. He does not hold the answer either.
It is Jesus Christ who knows the way to the Father. It is through his atoning sacrifice that we can be made right and have peace with God (Rom 5:1). His death on the cross, and resurrection from the dead vindicated His claim of deity (Rom 1:3-4), and satisfied God's justice (Isaiah 53:5-6). In a world of many false religions He is the absolute truth and way to eternal life!
He will forgive you, cancel your debt of sin, and give you a new life of victory over your sinful past. Won't you surrender to Him today? He whom the Son sets free is free indeed (John 8:36)!
