Russell Vought was being questioned by the Senate in order to be confirmed for the government position of Deputy Director of the Office of Management and Budget. Senator Bernie Sanders asked Vought about the following statement he had made: \u201cMuslims do not simply have a deficient theology. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They do not know God because they have rejected Jesus Christ his Son, and they stand condemned.\u201dVought had written the statement in an article for Wheaton College (his alma mater), surrounding a controversy about whether or not Christians and Muslims pray to the same God. Sanders concluded that this belief of Vought\u2019s was inappropriate and was not in keeping with American values.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vought had written the statement in an article for Wheaton College (his alma mater), surrounding a controversy about whether or not Christians and Muslims pray to the same God. Sanders concluded that this belief of Vought\u2019s was inappropriate and was not in keeping with American values.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What surprised me most about this interaction was not that Bernie Sanders disagreed with the statement or found it offensive. What surprised me is that Bernie Sanders seemed shocked that a Christian would hold this view. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He seemed unaware that Vought was simply expressing a very basic Christian belief: the belief that <\/span>only through faith in Jesus Christ can people be saved<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am not sure if Senator Sanders was genuinely shocked by Vought\u2019s statement or if he was simply playing political games. I am sure, however, that the only reason Senator Sanders could have expected that his critique would be taken seriously is because\u00a0public opinion is more on his side than at any other point in American history. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is now fairly common for Christians to be seen as bigots for believing that faith in Jesus is the only path to salvation. Because this is the cultural reality in which we find ourselves, I want to give three suggestions for how we talk to others about the exclusive claims of Jesus Christ.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Remember the Present<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Christians, we don\u2019t choose our beliefs based on popular opinion. We believe what we believe in light of what God has revealed through His Word. That said, it is worthwhile to recognize what statements will be shocking to people in our present cultural context. Don\u2019t back down from speaking the truth, but be willing to speak it in a polite way. When I meet with couples for premarital counseling, we talk about pre-marital sex.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I never back away from the biblical teaching on pre-marital sex, but I always say, \u201cI understand that what I am saying is very counter-cultural.\u201d This is simply to show them that I understand that they may be shocked by what I am saying. It helps to bridge the gap between us. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is nothing cowardly with saying, \u201cI know this is not a popular position in our culture, but I believe that Jesus is the only way to God.\u201d That is not being wishy-washy; it is simply acknowledging the context in which you find yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Remember Your Past<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Christian teaching is not that God looked down at people and decided that some of them were doing things that were deserving of hell. He did not say, \u201cHe\u2019s a murderer, so he\u2019s out! She\u2019s a prostitute, so she\u2019s out! He\u2019s gay and she\u2019s a Muslim, so they\u2019re condemned!\u201d It is not that some people do things that are so bad that they are condemned. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Christian teaching is that every single one of us is condemned. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. All are estranged from God and deserving of His wrath. Because of this, the gospel of Jesus is actually an incredible <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">inclusive<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> message. Jesus says,<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhoever you are, whatever you\u2019ve done, regardless of gender, ethnicity, and education, you are all invited to receive forgiveness and adoption into the family of God by coming to me!\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you talk to others about the exclusive claims of Jesus, be sure to help them understand that the Christian position is not that you <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">become<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> condemned by joining another religion, coming out as gay, or doing certain bad activities. We all are born condemned, and we <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">become<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> rescued by Jesus and by Him alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you were told that no one who doesn\u2019t visit a certain hospital will get cancer and die, this would be an alarming message. But if you were told that we are all dying of cancer and there is one, and only one hospital that has the cure and that anyone is welcome to come to the hospital and get the treatment for free, you would see this is great news. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You would not view that hospital as bigoted or arrogant (thinking they\u2019re better than other hospitals). When we provide the bigger picture, it becomes easier for others to see the gospel as the good news that it is.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Remember the Future<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It may be true that right now it is a minority position to believe that Jesus is the only way to be connected to God. Holding onto this belief may even result in you being insulted, disregarded, or marginalized. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may be told that you are on the wrong side of history. These things can make it difficult for Christians to hold onto the gospel and present it to others without compromise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, though, that Christians have always been on the \u201cwrong side of history.\u201d When Jesus was crucified, his disciples appeared to have backed the wrong horse. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When first century Christians were being imprisoned and martyred, they seemed to be holding onto a fading belief. In our \u201cpost-Christian\u201d society today, don\u2019t give in to the temptation to change or \u201cimprove\u201d the exclusive claims of Jesus. While it may seem that we are on the wrong side of history today, Jesus\u2019 future return and the kingdom will be His (and our) final vindication.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Only Through Faith in Jesus Christ can People be Saved [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":1507,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[56,77,156,211,294],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>It&#039;s Not Prejudiced to Believe Jesus is the Only Way &#8226;
