By
Ronald Bartanen Life offers us many choices, some more
important than others. The most
important choice you can make in life is to follow Christ rather than to live
life without Him. There is a “way” that
seems right, but ends in eternal death (Prov. 14:12), but the better way is
Christ,, who said, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No man cometh to the
Father but by me” (John 14:6). Christ is the better way because His way is
the way to salvation. He said, “I am the
door: by me, if any man enter in, he shall be saved” (John 10:9). He is the better way because He, the wholly
innocent Son of God, left the glory of Heaven to come to earth to manifest
Himself as the bearer of our sins in His own body on the cross, then to be
raised from the dead and to ascend to the Father’s throne to intercede for
those cleansed by His blood (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). He is the better way because He can work
within the Christians to “do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or
think, according to the power that worketh in us” (Eph. 3:20). He is the better way because He will come
again to judge the world, casting out those who reject Him and receiving those
who know Him as their Savior and lord, even as the apostle wrote, “To you who
are troubled, rest with us when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven
with His mighty angels, in flaming fire, taking vengeance on them that know not
God and obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: who shall be punished
with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory
of His power: when He shall come to be glorified in His saints, and to be
admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed)
in that day” (2 Thessalonians 1:7-10). He is the
better way for both time and eternity.
We urge all to put their trust in the Savior who died for you and rose
again, repenting of sins, confessing Him and being baptized for the forgiveness
of sins (Mark 16:15-16; Rom. 10:9-10; Acts 2:38). You will never regret it, for Christ is the
better way.
