1 way

1 Corinthians 8
5 According to some people, there are many so-called gods & many lords, both in heaven & earth. 6 But we know that there is only one God, the Father, who created everything, & we exist for Him. And there is only one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom God made everything & through whom we have been given life.


We hear a lot of people say there are many ways to God - Jesus, Buddha, Allah, Vishnu, Joseph Smith - just to name a few.

It looks like what Paul is saying here pokes a few holes in that thinking.

I know that it's very uncomfortable for some to think that Jesus the only way to the Father.

If that were true, then we'd have to take seriously everything He said - and obey them.

And our world today is VERY uncomfortable with many of the things He said.


Jesus kinda narrowed it down when He said to Martha (Lazarus' sister) in John 14:6, "I am the Way, the Truth, the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me."


1 way - by faith in Jesus' sacrifice for each of us.

simple...

free...

always available.
