KEY SCRIPTURE: 1Ti 2:5 KJV “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;”
A man was asked how one religion could claim to be the only way in the face of the multiplicity of religions. He answered as follows. It all depends on the credibility of Jesus Christ. It was Jesus who said He is the way, the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father but by Him John 14:6.This Jesus said he had the ability to heal the sick, bind the broken-hearted and open blind eyes and set the prisoners free( Luke 4:18-20). He honoured every one of these promises. He said He would be crucified and on the third day resurrect from the dead. It happened as He said. This was proved by the empty grave as well as the Jews, who could not challenge the fact that the grave was empty. Jesus appeared to His disciples for a period of forty days, and the evidence was that these fearful, timid disciples were ready to die for what they claimed they had seen. What transformed them from fearful men to bold, fearless men? Finally, Jesus ascended into the heavens right before the eyes of these men.
Apostle Peter added to all these in 2nd Peter 1:15-17 that he has not followed cunningly devised fables when he made known the coming of our Lord Jesus, but was an eyewitness of His majesty and power. This incident refers to the Lord’s transfiguration on the Holy Mount, when Moses and Elijah appeared to Him. The greatest evidence of the credibility of Jesus Christ is the thousands upon thousands of lives that have been transformed or supernaturally healed in His name. Jesus is the only mediator between God and men. All other ways do not lead to the father, maybe to someone else who is not God, the creator, the one whom the Bible calls YAHWEH.
The first part of our key scripture says God is one. We do not have three Gods but one God who has manifested Himself as three persons. These distinct persons function for the salvation and preservation of mankind 1Pe 1:2 KJV “Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.” In this work of man’s salvation, the Son, who is fully God, yet fully man, played the role of offering His life as a man to die for men to make a perfect means of saving men. Jesus, our Lord, as a man, conquered Satan so all men could legally claim victory over Satan as men’s victory. Heb 2:14 KJV Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. Dear one, this is your opportunity to make Jesus your Lord, if he is not
