God’s Solution

Why is Jesus Christ the only solution?

Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man at the same time. He is both the Son of God and also God the Son. He has existed from all eternity and was responsible along with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit for the creation of the universe and man. He holds us in His hand at this moment and He is the reason we are able to take our next breath.
Early in the history of man The Bible speaks of One who will come, “the Seed of the woman,” to conquer Satan. All the Biblical prophets spoke of the Messiah who would come to save mankind.
Throughout the Old Testament there are hundreds of prophecies about Jesus which were literally and specifically fulfilled by Him during His time on earth.
He was born as a human being conceived in Mary through the power of the Holy Spirit. Since He did not have a human father He did not inherit our sin nature from Adam.
He was subject to temptations just like us but never did anything that was not pleasing to God the Father. In other words He led a sinless life and so He was qualified to pay the penalty for our sins.
He was tried and convicted of a crime He did not commit and was sentenced to death. Then He was beaten, whipped, tortured, nailed to a Roman cross and died.
His death was accepted by God the Father as payment in full for all of our sins.
He rose from the dead three days later and spent 40 more days on earth. During this time He was seen by more than 500 witnesses, He ate food and people touched Him.
Then Jesus ascended visibly into the clouds in the sight of His followers and He is in Heaven now acting as our Great High Priest and preparing a place for all those have faith in Him.
The Bible is very clear that we cannot earn our way to Heaven by anything we can possibly do on our own. The Old Testament is very clear that God prescribes the correct way to be forgiven of our sins. The New Testament tells us that we can be forgiven and accepted by God only through believing that Jesus death and resurrection paid in full the penalty for our sins.
The faith we need to have is more that just an intellectual acceptance that Jesus existed and was crucified. It needs to be different than just asking God to provide us with food or shelter or trusting God to protect and heal us.
Real “saving” faith is trusting only in Jesus Christ for our Eternal Life.
We receive this Free Gift through prayer. If you would like to trust Jesus Christ right now for your eternal life you are welcome to use the model prayer found under the heading “Accept Jesus.”

Peter said about Jesus: “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other

name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." Acts 4:12 (NKJV)
