"There Is No Salvation Through Anyone Else."

4/21/2017

How many gods do you worship?  How many other people, possessions or plans do you look to for salvation?  It seems to me that I forget this fundamental truth, clearly given to us in the first of the Ten Commandments.  I sometimes cater to many gods in my life:  to power, to pride, to my opinion, to an idea, to plans I have made . . . the list goes on.  These invitations to pseudo-salvation come and go throughout the various stages of my life and I am still unable at times, to catch myself from making them my center.  Are you like me in this regard?

I refuse to give up, however.  I refuse to be too hard on myself.  I know that God understands this tendency in myself and loves me regardless.  I know that the Risen Christ promised to be with me until the end of time, despite my failures and sins.  In fact, this weakness and sinfulness are actually a gift because time and time again they bring me to my knees to once more realize that there is only ONE God for me.   There really is no salvation through anyone or anything else for me."   Costly grace, being brought back to the true God after drifting away, is difficult.  It is also a treasure.
