Titus 3:4-7 – 4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.
A reminder for us when we try to get on our high horse, there is nothing righteous about us on our own. We can’t even be righteous on our own. Only One can bring the righteousness to us and that is our loving Lord who died in our place for our sins if we will choose it.
God’s way! We can only get back to God, God’s way. So many people want to lower or change the standard because they don’t want to disrespect them or hurt their feelings. It’s God’s way or the wrong way. We don’t vote, haggle, or debate on different ways to God. The reason people end up in destruction is they won’t look to the Lord for the way. God’s way!
How are those portrayed that try to convince you there are other ways?
John 10:1- 1 “I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber.
Jesus is the Shepherd and He will meet us at the gate.
John 10:2- 2 The man who enters by the gate is the shepherd of his sheep.
Why is Jesus the only way? Because God made the way and He made it that way.
John 14:6 – 6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
The perfect sacrificial Lamb whose blood is sufficient to cover our sins is the reason we may enter into Heaven and be with God. People fail to acknowledge they are sinners and can’t see Heaven or God in their sinful condition.
What happens when an earthly boss says it’s my way or the highway? According to unsaved man the answer is no I will do it my way and it will be sufficient enough. Is that the way it works even on earth? No. It’s not going work that way later either.
Seek Him and He will show you His way.
