I. Why Is Salvation Through Jesus Only?
There are five reasons why salvation is through Jesus only:
Because Jesus said so—John 3:16; 5:24; 10: 9; 14:6-7; 17:3
Because the Word of God says so---Acts 4:12, Romans 6:23, 10:9, I Timothy 2:5

and that name is Jesus. (Acts 4:12, Romans 6:23, 10:9, I Timothy 2:5)

Because of what He has done for me that no other god has done
All other gods demand devotion or else they will hurt, harm or destroy. No other god shows
unmerited love to their devotees, yet they demand love and sacrifice. No other god has died for
their devotees, even when the devotee is not a believe
