Only One Savior and Way to Heaven-Jesus Christ

O. T. #2063 "Only One Savior and Way to Heaven-Jesus Christ"

Nov. 9, 2021

Hosea 13-Part 2

Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but Me: for there is no Savior beside Me. (verse 4)

LET IT GLOW

Psalm 103:13-14 says, Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear Him. For He knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust.

 

I remember as a preschooler in the afternoon Dad would sit in his chair to take a nap after all the chores were done. Sometimes I would crawl up in his lap and nap, too. I felt safe and loved there.

Our God is like a father-tender and compassionate. Although we can't be held physically by Him, we can receive His love in our heart by means of His Holy Spirit. (Rom. 5:5)

If you have not yet experienced this self-giving love, come to God through His son, Jesus Christ. It is eternal love. Just ask for it.

LET IT GROW

We can't work for our salvation; we can't plan it by being good or giving money. There is only one Savior, and He is Jesus Christ, who can save us from the punishment of our sins.

In John 14:6, Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.

God was Jesus in the flesh. It was His way and plan to provide us a way to heaven and forgiveness of our sins.

In the Hebrew language, Savior (Yasha/yaw-shah') means to be open, wide, or free; to be safe; deliver; defend; rescue.

Jesus came to set us free from the bonds of sin, rescuing us. He makes us safe as He delivers us to the Father. He delivers us from the penalty of our sins-death. For sin must be paid for, which Jesus did with His blood sacrifice. He was the perfect sacrifice; we can't be. Wow! Grace and mercy.

Other Scriptures include: Isaiah 43:3, 11; 45:14, 21; 60:16; 63:8; John 4:42; 2 Timothy 2:10; 1 John 4:14.

Christ Jesus is the Only Savior, so we need not look for another. Are we passing on this Good News?

LET IT GO

Thank You, Jesus, for loving us sinners, enduring the temptations of the world, and dying on the cross for us.

We love You Jesus, Yasha.

We praise Your name!

You alone are the One and Only Savior, and way to heaven.

Please save those who read this and do not yet know You.

Help them to admit they are a sinner in need of a Savior.

Give them faith to believe in You alone.
