No Other God Died for Us Except Jesus Christ
“Jesus Christ died for our sins – 1 Cor 15:3 (NIV)”
Many non-Christians are of the opinion that a major or serious crime like a murder or stealing or cheating, betraying others alone will constitute a sin or tantamount to be a sin warranting a hell sentence. People think that “they have not committed any such major, big sins. I may have committed a few small petty sins and mistakes like telling a little harmless lie, not buying a ticket for a bus travel or on the electric train, defending our shortcomings, weaknesses, blunders and unbecoming behaviour. These small things need not be termed as grave or serious sins and deviations
and these will not invite a death sentence in a hell fire”. Further they think that such small sins will be forgiven automatically by their gods on seeing their daily prayers after bath, chanting of mantras, flower offerings, homams (Holy fire) performed by them, their fasting on full moon, new moon days and other auspicious days, their frequent faithful visits to various temples and the holy dips made in the holy rivers and temple tanks apart from offering of meals to Brahmins and yogis and free distribution of food to the poor and have-nots and their generous alms of 50 paisa or one rupee to a leper or to a blind beggar on the street or railway platform ought to be considered to score off their trivial mistakes like this. In addition they also think that the blessings received from their parents, elders, spiritual heads, gurus or the god incarnates on whose feet they had fallen, worshipped and did the ‘paadha puja’ (foot worshipping) will invariably mitigate all the sins they had committed. People think that lighting of lamps and an incense stick and small murmuring of prayer will be sufficient and enough to be a price for the remission of their sins. The truth is ‘NO’. None of these prayers, worships or acts can set any one free from their sins. Only by paying a price through shedding of sinless blood, Jesus Christ was able to earn the remissions and He alone can give remissions for all our sins. No other god or god incarnates have shed even a single drop of their blood for us or have suffered, undergone any humiliation or met peacefully such a horrible torturous inhuman death like Jesus Christ.
No sacrifice of any animal or shedding of its blood will yield us the remissions of our sins. Similarly the lemon or the white pumpkin with kumkum (turmeric red colour powder) can not substitute the Holy blood of Jesus Christ for the abolition of the sins or for setting you free from the clutches of demons or witchcraft or black magic. Only the name of Jesus Christ, the name above all the names (Phil 2:9), can alone set you free from all your sin, sickness, bondage, worries, problems, unhappiness, confusions, troubles and turmoils. He is the good shepherd and like a good shepherd takes care of his
S. THAYAPPAN 95 sheep, Jesus Christ will take care of any one who comes to Him. The good shepherd gives His life for His sheep (John 10:11). Test and see if it is true what I have told is fact or not. You will be really surprised, pleased to enjoy the everlasting peace on being washed by the Holy blood of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah!
