Jesus Christ, The Ransom For All People
There's Just One Way To Our Father In Heaven
1 TIMOTHY 2:5-6
“For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time,
”I Timothy 2:5-6 NKJV

Though some people think there are many ways to God, the truth is in practice, we each must choose a single way.
We can stand on one side of a gorge and discuss the possibility of many bridges across the abyss, but if we are determined to cross, we will have to commit to one bridge.
Those who insist that there are many bridges to God usually fall into the following categories: They haven't committed to any "bridge." They are surprised that their belief in many ways does not exempt them from having to choose one: Their belief in "many ways to God" hides their true belief that finding God doesn't really matter at all: They are convinced that arguing for "many ways to God" will insure that they won't be wrong. If there is one way, their generalised belief will presumably have included it: They have decided that believing in "many ways to God" requires less work than taking the trouble of considering the claims of various religious systems.
The fact remains, we humans have been separated from God by sin and we need a Saviour, a way back across the abyss to God.
Only one person, our God and Mediator, Jesus Christ, can stand between us and God and bridge the gap; only Jesus Christ can bring us back to our Father in heaven.
As written in today’s Scripture, “there is one “God and one Mediator” between God and man.” This is another confirmation of the deity of Jesus Christ. He is both, fully God and fully man (see also PHILIPPIANS 2:5-7) and it is He alone who can bridge the gap between you and God.
Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
John 14:6 NKJV
My beloved, as is written, there is no other way to our Father in heaven; there is no other person or object or angel or god that can bridge the gap.
No amount of money or good deeds can purchase your salvation. Only Jesus could do that and He did with His own blood.
This is the Good News of Christ; “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
Romans 10:9 NKJV
He is the coming judge who shall decide your eternal future and as is written, He is returning soon to judge the world.
Jesus message for today is exactly as He said before:
“”But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. Therefore, you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”
Matthew 24:36-44 NKJV
My brethren, the question is, are you ready?
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
