“If
the church was ever too controversial in its evangelism, those days are gone. In
our shrinking, pluralistic world, the belief that Jesus is the only way to
salvation is increasingly called arrogant and even hateful. In the face of
criticism, many shrink back from the affirming the global necessity of knowing
and believing in Jesus.
In
Jesus: The Only Way to God – Must You
Hear the Gospel to Be Saved? John Piper offers a timely plea for the
evangelical church to consider what is at stake in surrendering the unique,
universal place of Jesus in salvation. If you’re concerned about the current
state of evangelism (Me added: ‘as I do’) – and the church – this book is a
must-read.”

With
zero regret and with the realization that ‘my
neck might lose its connection with my head’, I boldly confess
that: the only way to salvation is
through Jesus Christ. The gospel recorded Jesus said, His
self-authoritative claimed about His exclusivity: ““I am the way, and the
truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John
14:6ESV) For this, I believe.
Mind
you, I might not agree with some (minor problems) of John Piper’s arguments in this
book. In fact, none of us can agree with one another 100% - and that might also
include our unavoidable theological insights and opinions. We are human, imperfect
and fall short from the true knowledge of God.
But
if you read the Gospel carefully the very reason Jesus was killed was because
He claimed to be God… and that’s left us with 4 options about who He was (based
on C.S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity,
only that I add another option in advance); either he is a liar, a lunatic, a
legend or the Lord. In my own personal journey to discover who Jesus was in my
life, I have to conclude and confess that: Jesus is Lord. Thus, He is God the
Son and the only way to God. This is the core of my faith in Him. Period.
Would you try to consider prayerfully, examine carefully and study honestly about Jesus' claimed in the Gospel that He is the only way to God? For once in your life time - I plea for you to take a look at this Man. This could be your most significant and important journey of a life time!
