IS THAT TRUE? Most people believe those of different faiths will be saved! What did Jesus and His apostles say about the path to salvation, the way to eternal life?
5
THERE IS ONLY ONE PATH TO SALVATION
ACCORDING TO JESUS- He said the way to life was difficult & narrow, found by few – Matthew 7:13,14 He taught that unless we believe in Him, we will die in our sins – John 8:24 He claimed to be the only way to the Father – John 14:6
6
THERE IS ONLY ONE PATH TO SALVATION
ACCORDING TO HIS APOSTLES- Peter said salvation found only in His name- Acts 4:12 John said whoever denies the Son does not have the Father – 1 John 2:23 Paul said those who don’t obey the gospel will experience Jesus vengeance – 2 Thessalonians 1:7,8
7
“THERE ARE MANY PATHS TO SALVATION”
IF SO, CONSIDER WHO LIED… JESUS lied – John 14:6 HIS APOSTLES lied – Acts 4:12 IF SO, CONSIDER WHO SUFFERED & DIED IN VAIN… Jesus’ death not necessary! Why die for our sins if there are other ways to salvation?
8
“THERE ARE MANY PATHS TO SALVATION”
His apostles’ deaths were not necessary! Why did Paul put up with hardships? 2 Corinthians 11:23-29 Why did the apostles endure martyrdom if it was not necessary? IF there are many paths to salvation, then Jesus & His apostles died in vain!
9
THE PATH TO SALVATION We must Hear the Good News –Romans 10:17
Acts 10:42,43 -Have you heard the gospel? We must Believe (Trust) in Jesus – John 3:16 1 John 4:9,10; Ephesians 1:7 -Do you trust in Jesus & His death for your salvation? We must Repent – Acts 17:30,31 Acts 26:18
10
THE PATH TO SALVATION We must Confess Jesus as Lord – Matthew 10:32,33
Romans 10:9,10 – Have you acknowledged Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God? We must be Baptized into Christ – Mark 16:15,16 Acts 2:38; Romans 6: Have you been baptized into Christ for the remission of sins?
11
THE PATH TO SALVATION We must Remain Faithful to Jesus – Matthew 28:19,20 To imitate Him as our Mentor – Luke 6:40 To remain faithful even to the point of death – Revelation 2:10 Have you made Jesus your Teacher & Mentor, as well as your Savior?
12
Believing There Are Many Paths To Salvation is…
A Comforting doctrine to hold Viewed by many as tolerant & loving BUT if one really believes in Jesus, they must abide in His teaching – John 8:30-32
13
We Must Remember That: Few will be saved
Jesus the only was to the Father We must obey His gospel plan of salvation We must follow Him the rest of our life.
