Jesus Alone

“In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death.” (Proverbs 12:28)
One of the most beautiful verses of Scripture is John 14:6, when Jesus declares: “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh to the Father, but by me.” Jesus is the Way to a world that has no ability to reach God on their own; He is the Truth in a world that no longer believes in moral absolutes; He is the life for a lost and dying world, which apart from Him, will spend an eternity in hell separated from the Father. In spite of God’s redemptive plan, most people attempt to reach God in their own way, instead of trusting in the way: Jesus. “As for God, his way is perfect…For who is God, save the Lord? or who is a rock save our God? (Psalms 18:30, 31) Jesus’ last recorded words from the cross were: “It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.” (John 19:30) What was finished? God’s redemptive plan of salvation was finished. Jesus, the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world (John 1:29), shed His blood so that we might receive the forgiveness of sins. (Ephesians 1:7) For without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins. (Hebrews 9:22) “Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.” (Romans 3: 24-26) Are you trusting in Jesus and Him alone? It is His righteousness that has satisfied the wrath of God.
