1 Timothy 2

For those wondering and seeking the truth, Paul displays it brilliantly and simply in verses 5 & 6. (5) “For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, (6) who gave himself as a ransom for all men—the testimony given in its proper time.”

There you have it, the simple truth. Regardless of what you’ve heard or have believed to this point: 1. there is only one God 2. there is only one way to Him, Jesus Christ 3. Jesus gave sacrificed himself for all of us. You can’t put it any plainer that that.

Notice the verse did not say “one concept” or “many creators”, one God period! Also notice, it did not say “good deeds”, “loving and kind”, “being gentle and good”, it said one way to God, Jesus Christ period! Finally, notice it did not say “good people”, “some men”, or a certain race, it said ALL period! One God, one way, for us ALL. Thank you Jesus!
