Only in Christ is there salvation
Dr. Roberto Miranda(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY:
In John chapter 10, Jesus declares himself as the door and the good shepherd. He emphasizes that only those who enter through Him will be saved and have access to the Father. Though there are many other religions in the world, Christianity believes that only in Christ is there salvation. Jesus also explains that He entered through the door that the Father provided for Him, which legitimized Him as the true shepherd. The close relationship between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is what gives Jesus Christ the authority to lead and guide His followers. Ultimately, the call is to surrender our will and pride to Him and submit to Him as the door to eternal life.
Christ is the only door to salvation and He is the cornerstone of our faith. No one can enter through any other means, and those who offer salvation through other means are thieves and robbers. It is essential to focus on Christ alone and use Him as the doorway to a life of relationship with God. There may be questions about what happens to those who have never heard of Christ, but the Bible suggests they will be judged according to the reference point they knew and will have to prove they lived a life consistent with that system. Ultimately, it is important to surrender our will and pride and submit to Christ as the only means of salvation.
The speaker discusses the concept of accepting Jesus Christ as the door to the Father in practical terms. He explains that accepting Christ means being saved and having eternal life. Additionally, Christ provides support and guidance for everyday struggles and challenges. The speaker encourages listeners to trust in Christ for rest, nourishment, and strength. Overall, he emphasizes the importance of spreading the message of Christ to others and living a life consistent with that belief.I wanted to choose this morning, I hope directed by the Lord, one of those basic, fundamental texts of the Bible, sometimes it is good to focus on Jesus, simply on Jesus. We can talk a lot around Jesus, but how good it is from time to time to put our eyes directly on his person, to listen to him speaking in the pages of the Gospel, to listen to him speaking like this to our hearts, our lives, and to meditate on him, specifically in Jesus Christ, what He is for us, his salvific nature, his unique character as the foundation of our life.
So I invite you to go to the Gospel according to Saint John, John chapter 10, a fundamental passage of the Word of God, and in this year of definition one of the things that we have to remember is that only in Christ is there salvation. We are one of those who believe, I was thinking of that choir by my friend Jessie González, we are one of those who believe that there is salvation only in Christ. And a church has to emphasize that at a time when many people are abandoning that idea in subtle ways, we don't insist enough that only Christ gives access to the Father, only in Christ is there salvation.
