Sometimes, in life, you find that there is only one way that leads to a particular destination. Taking a wrong way will not lead you there. There are times when you encounter a kind soul that direct you back to the right path and finally you reach your destination. However, sometimes, we may not have a second chance.
In the past, when people preach the gospel to me, I always told them that religion teaches people to do good. As long as I do good, I don’t need to believe in a God. But thank God, I still receive a second chance.
Many people know that God is love but not many know that God is holy and righteous. Being a holy God, he cannot tolerates sin and being righteous, the wages of sin is death. The soul that sinned, he must die. But God is love. How to satisfy His righteousness and holiness? His holiness and righteousness cannot allow him to close one eye and ignore our sins.
The Bible states clearly that without shedding of blood, there is no remission of sin. (Hebrews 9:22) Someone has to die on our behalf. Because of His holiness, God cannot just accept the death of anyone for your sin. The Bible tells us that God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16). Jesus is the only appointed way by God. Though He was tempted like anyone of us, yet He is without sin. He is the perfect sacrifice. God cannot accept any standard below what He has set. It is only by accepting Jesus that you are granted salvation.
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (John 14:6).
