🚨 THE GOSPEL CHALLENGE: WHO OFFERS A BETTER PLAN THAN JESUS?

“I now challenge anyone to make me a better offer for ending life and entering the unknown.” — Pastor Terry

📖 GOD’S PLAN FOR SALVATION: UNMATCHED & UNCHANGING

"Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’"— John 14:6 (NKJV)

Let’s break it down clearly:

• THE WAY — Greek: hodos (ὁδός) — a path, road, or journey. Jesus is not a way; He is THE exclusive passage.

• THE TRUTH — Greek: alētheia (ἀλήθεια) — objective, divine reality, not just honesty. Not one truth among many, but the actual embodiment of Truth.

• THE LIFE — Greek: zōē (ζωή) — eternal, spiritual life beyond mere existence. Not just breathing, but life that conquers death.

📜 GOD'S SIMPLE YET SUPERNATURAL PLAN

1. Admit you are a sinner.

   “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23)

2. Believe Jesus died for your sins and rose again.

   “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)

3. Confess Him as Lord and receive Him by faith.

   “That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)

🖼 ILLUSTRATION: THE BURNING BUILDING

Picture your house on fire. Smoke clouds your vision. You’re lost. Suddenly, a firefighter breaks in, carries you out, and saves your life.

That’s Jesus. He didn't send advice from outside. He entered the burning building called Earth, found you, carried your sin on the Cross, and walked out of the grave alive—not just to rescue you, but to live inside you.

🔍 COMPARE THE COMPETITION: Any Better Offers?

1. Islam

• Teaching: You must earn paradise by works. Jesus is called a prophet, not Savior.

• Problem: No assurance of salvation. Denies Jesus’ death and resurrection.

  “They killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear...” (Qur’an 4:157)

2. Hinduism

• Teaching: Reincarnation. You return until karma is paid.

• Problem: No forgiveness—only endless debt.

  "You become what you believe"—but belief is impersonal, and sin is ignored, not cleansed.

3. Buddhism

• Teaching: Desire is the cause of suffering. Eliminate desire, and reach Nirvana.

• Problem: No Savior. No heaven. No personal God.

  Salvation is self-extinction, not eternal life.

4. Atheism / Humanism

• Teaching: There is no God. When you die, you cease to exist.

• Problem: No hope. No justice. No ultimate truth.

  If there’s no judgment, then Hitler and the humble both meet the same end—nothing.

5. New Age / Universalism

• Teaching: All paths lead to God. Truth is relative. Follow your own light.

• Problem: Contradictory. No Cross, no Savior, no atonement.

  “Follow your heart” is dangerous advice when Scripture says: “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked…” (Jeremiah 17:9)

✅ HOW TO DETECT BIBLICAL TRUTH FROM SECULAR LIES

Biblical Filter Test 🔍

Ask:

1. Does it exalt Jesus Christ as the only way? (John 14:6)

2. Does it teach salvation by grace through faith, not works?(Ephesians 2:8–9)

3. Does it deal honestly with sin and offer forgiveness through the blood of Jesus? (1 John 1:7)

4. Does it affirm the Resurrection? (1 Corinthians 15:17)

If it fails any of these—it’s not from God.

🎯 FINAL WORD FROM PASTOR TERRY

Friend, I challenge you—can you show me a better deal than Jesus offers?

• Eternal life? ✅

• Forgiveness of sins? ✅

• A loving Savior who died in your place and rose from the grave? ✅

• A God who adopts you as His child and prepares a home for you in heaven? ✅

“Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”— Acts 4:12 (NKJV)
