The Only Way

The only way into the presence of God is through the mediator Christ Jesus. 

For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 1 Timothy 2:5 

The gospel is good news. It is good tidings of great joy! 

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:10-11 

And it’s not just good news for us, it’s good news for our children, and for people all around the world. 

For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. Acts 2:39 

And He (Jesus) said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Mark 16:15-16 

How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth! Isaiah 52:7 

He (Jesus) came unto His own, and His own received him not. But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name: John 1:11-12 

 “The command is, “Believe and live;” attend to that, whatever else you do.”” (C. Spurgeon.) 

Behold, I (Jesus) stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me. Revelations 3:20 

While it is said, To day if ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. Hebrews 3:15 

How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard Him; Hebrews 2:3
