Thankful for Jesus the Christ
By Kevin Cauley
“For when we were still
without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly” (Romans 5:6).
Christianity is the only
world religion that teaches salvation by grace. The other world religions teach
that “salvation” is based on merit. This means as long as one is 51% good, he
may claim salvation. He can be 49% evil and be “saved.” This implicates God in evil since God would
be obliged to “save” people who are 49% evil. In such a system, God must
condone evil. What kind of a god would condone evil?
In Christianity, God doesn’t
condone evil. He demands that everyone be holy as He is holy (1 Peter 1:16).
This means, however, that one must be perfect to be saved. If one sins just one
time, he is lost. He isn’t lost because God is evil, but because he is evil.
How can a person be saved? There is only one way; God must pay the price for
his sins. He did this through Jesus’ perfect life and sacrifice on the cross.
Since Jesus paid the price,
Jesus may give salvation to whoever He desires, and Jesus desires that
salvation be given to those who trust and obey Him in love (John 14:15).
Hebrews 5:9 says, “And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal
salvation to all who obey Him.” Salvation is by grace through faith because we
trust that Jesus will save us when we obey Him (Ephesians 2:8-9). Our obedience
doesn’t merit salvation as if God owes it to us; obedience is simply the
response of one who trusts Jesus for salvation. Do we obey perfectly? No, but
Jesus forgives those who are trying to be faithful to Him, and He knows who is
and who isn’t (2 Timothy 2:19). I am so thankful for Jesus.
