What Did Jesus Say About Other Religions?

Jesus Say About Other Religions

Jesus the mighty God who once came on this earth actually revealed the one true living God in his flesh. He has opened the spiritual eyes of man so they find the right perspective towards God and how to live and what to do to please Him.

In this world we notice so many faiths which make people follow their rituals, thus they form their religion. But Jesus did not ask his believers to follow the rituals and traditions which are useless in this grace period where God himself fulfilled the requirements by sending Jesus on this earth.

Jesus was extremely unhappy with the traditions and rituals that the Jews religious leaders kept holding. He made clear what God demands from mankind. His teachings are widely expanded and he has established the relationship between man and God without obeying any rituals.

Jesus The way, Truth And Life

Jesus did not say his followers to search for another way except him. He claimed himself the way, truth, and life and through him, we are allowed to reach the Father.

So he required us to follow only him. If we seek another way then we will surely lose our life. This word of Jesus directly denounces the faith of other religions are not capable to give us hope and salvation.

John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

True Worshippers Shall Worship The Father

The Samaritan woman who met Jesus while she came to fetch water from the well was astonished by the words of Jesus. Jesus told her about the truth that the Lord has made for the entire mankind. He made her known that the time has come and the worshippers must worship the Father alone.

Jesus also clarifies his words and says that God is a spirit and those who worship him must view him as a spirit. It means that God is not an idol and God does not live in a handmade idol. So, we understand what Jesus teaches here, and we must know he is saying to worship only Father who dwelt in his physical body.

John 4:23-24 “But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”

Jesus Came To Save The World

God loves his people very much and he shows his amazing grace by sending Jesus who was the invisible image of God. He was sent to sacrifice his blood to deliver the world from their sin which reigns in man’s body.

After death, everyone has to encounter the judgment (Hebrews 9:27) and God made a way where Jesus was the price to pay for man’s sin. And this makes all of us believe in him and only Jesus can save us from the judgment that is waiting ahead of us.

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

Jesus Revealed  The Father 

When Philip asked Jesus to show him the Father, Jesus answered him that he is the Father incarnate. In him, the Father dwells and the works that he performs are what the Father actually does in him. This is a question to many who is the Father but Jesus makes it clear that in him the Father lived and he was the physical manifestation of the Father. 

Malachi 2:10 says that the Father is the creator of all and he is the true God. Thus Jesus says that he is the only path that connects man to the almighty Father who has made this wonderful earth.

John 14:9-10 “Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.”

Jesus Gave His Life A ransom For Many

Throughout history, we find no other man who gave his life to the entire mankind. Jesus had known earlier what would have been happening with him. There are so many scriptures in the old testament that also told us about his sufferings and death. 

Jesus knowingly sacrifices his life to buy us from the bondage of sin. He became the ransom for us to redeem us from the darkness of this world. Now, his sacrificial act makes us think that Jesus is the only way that leads us to the Lord. 

Mark 10:45 “For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.”

Who Is Jesus According To The Bible

  • The bread of life (John 6:48).
  • The vine (John 15:5) .
  • The light of the world (John 9:5).
  • The good shepherd (John 10:14).
  • The way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6).
  • The door (John 10:9).
  •  The resurrection and the life (John 11:25).
  • Jesus the living water (John 7:37-39).  

The above statements of Jesus easily enables us to understand who is God and why should we worship him. He does not say us to seek God apart from him. Thus he remained silent in speaking about other religions as he revealed the true way to all of us.
