Jesus gives us wisdom, knows our future, and always has our best interest at heart, for sure. But why Jesus and not the other gods? [Spirituality & Religion]

There may be many gods to choose from, but do they all lead to the right path? For example:

Islam says that Allah is the only true God, and that anyone who says [u]Christ is the Son of God, shall be condemned[/u] (Qur'an, 5:72, 9:30). Personally, I find that odd, because our sins are paid for, by Jesus' death on the cross, and only by accepting his payment for our sins and believing in Him, can we be forgiven. We never have to earn our way into heaven...which is a [u]good[/u] thing, because we could never do it! We can never meet God’s holy standard of perfection, [b]however[/b]....Jesus made a way, so we could have our sins forgiven and erased, so we could stand before God [c=#BF0000]without condemnation[/c] or blemish and dwell in the house of the Lord, forever!

Jesus, Himself, clearly tells us in His Word that HE is the way to God, because without the forgiveness of our sins, that comes through Jesus’s death and resurrection, there's simply no way at all for us to be able to stand before a Holy God.

Jesus, since He is the perfect Son of God and has no sin in Him, is the only one qualified to even offer Himself as payment for our wrong-doing. It took a Holy, unblemished, sinless Jesus, to be the perfect sacrifice for our sins. What’s more, we cannot have access to God the Father in Heaven, unless we mediate through Jesus, His Son.

When we choose which God we’ll follow, we’re not choosing a “religion”, which is nothing but man-made philosophy. It has nothing to do with religion or rituals. We’re actually choosing which God we want to have a personal relationship with. This is a PERSONAL choice.

Did you know that Jesus hated the religious, pious, and hypocritical crowds of His day? Why? Because they had the “appearance” of godliness, but their hearts and actions were FAR FROM HIM. They would wear sackcloth, as if in mourning, make grimacing faces as if they were praying so earnestly and wanted to appear to be so close to God, screaming out-loud for attention, falling to the ground in public. They were phony!!
Of course, we have phonies and false teachers today, but not [u]all[/u] are such. Jesus said don’t mind THEM. Just make sure YOUR heart and life is right before God. You are accountable only for [u]your[/u] sins...not theirs...for they shall personally have to give an account of their lives before God, one day. As will all of us.

There are no other Gods but Him.
@GodSpeed63 AMEN....but some don't know that, unfortunately.

We can pray that they do before it's too late for them.
@GodSpeed63 Absolutely, brother. Amen.

how do we accept the payment he made?
Very easily. Go to Jesus in prayer, recognizing that you are a sinner and in need of forgiveness of your sins. Ask Jesus to forgive you of all your sins and invite Him to come into your heart and life and be your Lord and Savior. He never turns anyone away.

Romans 10:13, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." God will impart eternal life to your spirit.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Jesus WAS the Lamb that was literally butchered by beatings so WE wouldn’t have to pay for our sins, and could have eternal life in heaven. Or would we like the alternative? He not only [b]said[/b] He loves us, He [b]proved[/b] it on the cross. Oh, I know why you said that, now. I see from your profile you are a witch. Believe what you want, then. It won’t change Jesus’s schedule one bit. @Greybare
