Bible Question:
In John 14:6b, Jesus says "No one comes to the Father except through me." Many reject Christ, or have real trouble accepting Him because of His unique, exclusive claim. When witnessing to unbelievers, how do you explain to them why you accept His claim? And, in practical terms, what difference does it make to your walk with him? I'm not looking so much for bible verses that support the truth of His statement, but rather how you explain to unbelievers why this makes sense, knowing that they do not yet recognize the authority of scripture. |
Bible Answer: Greetings Parable! Since your not looking for verses, the easiest response I would make to an unbeliever is simply this: Our sin is against God, therefore only God can forgive it. Christ is God incarnate, so He is the only one who can offer forgiveness of our sins. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
