There is none Other

Revelation 1:18 "I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and I have the keys of hell and of death.

Life exist only in His name; Salvation is of God and in His Christ. " Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved". Again, "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way ,the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me". No matter how good or noble a man or woman may believe he or she is, that person can no more save himself or herself than you could have created yourself.

"Jesus saith unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die". Before a person can experience the event of the resurrection unto life, he or she must experience the person who is the resurrection. People how can you be apart of something you know nothing about, how can you believe in Him whom you haven't heard? See without any conviction there can be no true conversion, you can't experience a resurrected life until you first realize you were dead in sin. As we partake in His death, we will walk in the newness of life. But to walk new, the old must die, and for the old to die, we must realize there was an old." I am crucified with Christ, and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me". It is not about the titles we wear, the building we fellowship in, or the Pastors and Bishops we sit under, it is solely about the Savior of the world.

All things are of God. He is the beginning, He is the process, and he is the end. He is our beginning, he is our path, and he is our life. It is all about Christ and him crucified, not about who we are, but whose we are. We must really come to this knowledge, for when we truly grasp hold to this fact, we will become better Christians, obedient servants,  convincing witnesses, and a more accurate reflection of Christ. Who we are will no longer seem important, our time will be spent lifting up our savior, and not elevating ourselves. We will seek all lost souls, spreading the good news of the gospel. This is our resurrected Lord, and it is about Christ and Him crucified. There is none other....
