Without Exception!

The Bible contains many amazing declarations, as much in favor as well as contrary to what people think. The title of today’s message is about one of them.

In accordance with the Scriptures, amongst the billions of people living in our world today, there is not one just person before God, not even one! Scripture emphasizes that declaration by saying, "There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of God’s glory." Since this is so, and the Scriptures are inspired by God Himself, Who cannot be wrong, it simply means that NO ONE can escape that accusation. There is no excuse for no one. Read Romans 1:20 and Rom. 3:4

Dear friends of all ages, what can we say about these declarations in the Scriptures, which were written by men, inspired by God Himself, and preserved for us, making it possible for us to have them today in our very own languages? What can we say in view of the fact that there are umpteen religions and religious groups existing in our world today? Is there any religion today that is able to justify man before a Holy God, Who lives in inaccessible light, Whom no one has ever seen nor can see? (Take a moment to read 1 Timothy 6:13-16)
The answer to the above questions based on the authority of the written Word of God is NO. There has never existed a religion or religious group that is able to make a human being worthy to appear before an all-powerful God, Who exists from eternity. However, thanks be unto this same Holy and All-Mighty God, who made it possible for us, through the various means of communication today, to proclaim loud and clear, that

YES, there is a PERSON, and not a religion, Who is able to present us without spot or wrinkle before this Powerful God revealed in the Scriptures, and Who can be visualized through the works of His Hand in Creation. (Read Romans 1:18-20)

This Person, Who presents each one of us clean and without stain before the Father is: "Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the Son of God." We are able to declare to you today, with all authority and assurance, that "salvation is found in no one else for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:11,12)

Dear friend, fully understand this: Today, salvation is offered to you through the Lord Jesus Christ, and not through any religion. This is a personal invitation, because even if your father and your mother are true believers in Jesus Christ, they cannot make you a child of God. Each one of us individually must admit before a Holy God that we are sinners and that we must repent from a sincere heart, and personally accept Jesus Christ, Who died for our sins on the cross, as our Lord and Savior.

The Bible clearly says that without repentance there is no forgiveness. That is why we must take heed that this is not some religious game. This matter of sin is serious and profoundly offensive against the holiness of God. And since He loved humanity so much that He did not spare His only begotten Son, but gave Him up for us all, that He might bring us to Him. (Make sure to read Romans 8:28-39).

If anyone reads this short message and is convinced of the truth, and are in accord with what the word of God says, then obey right now, and do not look at any obstacles that might be lurking around. The One who has called you is faithful, and will help you on this day of salvation. (Read 2 Cor. 6:1,2)
Be sure no matter what age you be, that the Lord, our God fulfills His Word.
