Why Is Christianity The Right Religion?
In every other religion in the world you have to DO something. In all the other religions you have to “earn” your way into heaven. Men in these false religions are trying to reach God by their works. The problem with these religions (besides being Christ-less) is that how do you determine when you have done enough? Several world religions believe that you have to do more good than bad in your life. How in the world would you ever know when you’ve accomplished this?
With Christianity, we don’t have to do anything. Ephesians 2:8-9 says that salvation is a gift from God. There is nothing we can do on our own to earn salvation. We don’t have anything we can do because Jesus has already DONE the work of salvation. He suffered and died on the cross for our sins, He took our place, He was our substitute. It’s already been DONE. There’s absolutely nothing we can do on our own. Salvation is of the Lord. We have to receive this free gift. We ask Jesus to forgive us of our sins and we ask Him to be the ruler of our life. (You have to truly mean it and allow Jesus to be the ruler of your life. Submit to the King of kings and the Lord of lords. This means that you deny yourself and put your trust and faith in Jesus alone).
So the question is: Have you asked Jesus to forgive you and be Lord of your life? If you haven’t, please do so today. The Bible says today is the day of salvation. Surrender your life to Christ today. Repent and believe the Gospel.
