Dan Delzell: Does Your Religious Group Have the Gospel?


When it comes to religion and spirituality, there is the Gospel, and then everything else. And everything else cannot hold a candle to the brightness of the Son.

Jesus is life. Jesus gives real forgiveness. Other religions purport to please God, but without Jesus, no one can please the Father. When Christ came to this world, He did not bring "one more good option." He brought the only message that can save man's soul. The other religions make you try to earn it. And even then, none of them can actually deliver eternal salvation. Only Christ can do it, and He gives this free gift to those who believe.

The Gospel is God's message of love and forgiveness for the sake of Christ. When Jesus died on the cross, He died there for you and for your sin. You can be welcomed into God's family today if you will come to the Father through the Son. "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved." (Acts 16:31) Any other approach will fall short. Any other prophet cannot deliver the goods. Only Jesus is worthy. He is "the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world." (John 1:29)

So does your religious group have the Gospel? Or does your group instead tell you what you must do in hopes of making yourself righteous in God's eyes? That is the way the other religions of the world operate. Jesus is the author of Christianity, but of no other religion. His way is completely different than everything else out there. Keep reading
