AND IF ANY MAN SIN, WE HAVE AN ADVOCATE WITH THE FATHER IN JESUS CHRIST - THE RIGHTEOUS!
There is only one mediator between God and man. That is, Jesus the Christ! If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness! Indeed, as the scriptures point out, Jesus said, I AM the door. By me, if any man enters in, he (or she) shall be saved! This is why there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby one can be saved! And yes, this promise even though all - every one of us - have sinned.
But combatants of the written words spoken by Jesus don't want us to know that Jesus loves us. In some cases, these are men and women with ulterior agendas, who will present a message contrary to the scriptures in the hope that we won't check further. That we will not read the scriptures ourselves to discover the salvation message that was intended for one and all.
But indeed, they take their stance further Sometimes, they contest the fact that a primary first-hand witness is the best type of witness when it comes to the evidence. In this context, the question to these naysayers should be - were they there? Were they one of the apostles that witnessed the miracles and sermons that Jesus delivered. Of course they were not. So what is their excuse for categorizing men as liars. Certainly, principled men about to meet their maker do not lie.
What they should be doing is promoting the gospel message of Jesus. Jesus whose life showed a new, living way of life that restored broken lives and healed people. Long before health and wellness became a 21st century slogan, Jesus was already implementing a health program that did not even cost a dime. No health card needed. And no need for hospitals.
Well, this was no way to conduct a business. What? No prescription drugs, no psychiatric wards, no food banks. So they shouted instead, "Crucify Him. We will not have this man rule over us!"
Like the woman at the well that Jesus spoke to saying, Woman, if you knew who it is that is now speaking to you, then you would be asking Me and I would give you the water of LIFE.
So like the Jews when confronted with a new and living way, a total reverse of there everyday ritualistic religion, chose to close their eyes as if they were blind. Whereas, if they had opened their heart and realized that God was visiting them, then they through believing and seeing the miracles, would have led the world into peace on earth and good will to all men. For the Kingdom of God would now be in our midst! But that was not to be. Instead, they shunned Him, and in turn God closed the door nationally to them and opened the door of salvation to the Gentiles!
Now God has said that if the Gentiles continue not in His goodness, then they also like the Jews through unbelief shall be cut off. God has no favourites. God is no respecter of persons. As previously stated, Jesus is indeed the answer to our existence. One must come to Him directly. Why? Because Jesus is the Author of Salvation.
Listen to the Author. This is not a religion here. Rather, this is receiving Life as a Gift. Eternal life. Life abundant. In fact, when nothing else has worked for you, it really is time to ask Jesus into your life. As many as received Him (JESUS) to them He gave power to become the SONS OF GOD. And yes, HE (JESUS) healed them ALL too. What is hindering You?
