Jesus,
No Substitutes
They’re
All Sincerely Wrong
by
Pastor John Hamel
“There is a way which seems right
unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of
death.” (Proverbs 14:12)
Did you know that “Salvation” is not
a matter of what you or your Denomination or “Special group” think is
right?
Salvation is a matter of what the Bible says is right.
Some people
don’t believe the Bible and think God will accept them anyway. “God knows
I’m sincere. He’ll accept me based on my sincerity alone,” they insist.
Well, they might be sincere, but they are sincerely wrong!
Back in the 1980’s someone in the
Tylenol Factory was putting cyanide capsules into the Tylenol bottles. Many
people died as a result. Many of those people were given those capsules by
loved ones who were sincerely caring for them.
However, their sincerity
didn’t prevent their loved one’s death.
You, too, may be sincere but will
suffer if you “…abideth not in the doctrine of
Christ.” (2John 1:9)
The Bible teaches that doing good
things and living “clean” is no substitute for Salvation, either. Salvation
is not a matter of what you can do. Salvation is a matter of what God has
already done for you in Jesus.
The Bible says we are saved only by
having faith in Jesus – in His life, death, burial, resurrection and
ascension to God’s right hand on our behalf. (Ephesians 2:8,9)
Also, far too many are trusting in what their Denomination believes to save
them. Jesus said that trusting Denominational teachings in place of His
Biblical teachings is vanity. (Matthew 15:9)
There were no Catholics,
Protestants, Presbyterians, Congregationalists, Episcopalians, etc., in
Jesus’ day. It was just Jesus and His followers!
This is the blueprint for
His Church today as well.
Denominations are a good place to
start but a bad place to stop! Move on and become a follower of Jesus
first, a denominational “do-bee” second!
Then there are those who place all
their “faith” in false religions and cults. There’s only one way to
determine what each of these groups believes. GIVE ‘EM THE BLOOD TEST!
“For many deceivers are entered into
the world, who confess NOT that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is
a deceiver and an antichrist.” (2 John 1:7)
I’ll always just ask them outright,
“Do you believe that the Blood of Jesus is the only means of salvation?”
When they start balking, I start walking, respectfully.
Satan never desecrates Mormons, Jehovah’s Witness, Christian Science,
New Age, Tarot readers, astrologers, etc. He’s
not threatened by them because they all deny the need for Jesus’ Blood
alone.
Satan desecrates Christianity alone because the Blood threatens him.
Someone said, “Well, I believe in
all the supernatural entities and Jesus, too! It’s all God anyway.”
No, it's not. Just because something
is supernatural doesn’t mean it’s of God.
Satan is a supernatural being, too,
and he is not of God.
Believing in all supernatural entities and Jesus,
too, is like mixing dog poop in the brownies! It upgrades the dog poop but
there goes the brownies!
If you’ve been substituting anything
for the Blood of Jesus, it’s time to wake up and hear the gravel on the
side of the road.
Say, “Jesus, You’re my choice.
It’s Your Blood or
nothing for me.” (Romans 10:13)
Things will now stop happening TO
you and start happening FOR you.
Start expecting miracles,
miracles that only Jesus can bring.
None of these other false gods and
religions can produce the miraculous.
Jesus alone is the Miracle
Worker.
