The Only Gospel

Nor is there salvation in any other.
Acts 4:12


If you testify to others that the gospel of Jesus Christ is the only gospel, the only way to God, you are not merely proclaiming your own view of right religion but God's revelation of truth. You do not proclaim the gospel of Christ simply because you know it, because it suits your personality, or because you want to be intolerant and exclusive. You declare the gospel of Christ because it's God's only way for people to find salvation from sin and eternal death.

You proclaim Jesus' gospel as the only gospel because He said, "I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved" (John 10:9). You testify to this gospel because you agree with the apostle Paul that "there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5).

You're therefore in good company and on solid footing when you testify of God's only way of salvation to those who don't know Jesus Christ.
