One God,one mediator. [ 1 Timothy 2 v 5 ]

Let us consider 1 Timothy 2 v5,/For there is one God, and one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus./ First consider the statement,/There is one God/, how vital these words are in a world of many gods,many people would say ,does it really matter,the answer is yes, it does matter. It matters because God says it matters and that should be enough for us, to believe in so called other gods has very serious consequences, as to our salvation, and indeed bars us from a relationship with God. Next we are told,that there is one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus,this rules out so many fanciful and wrong ideas, such as Mary, priests,and the dead. As a Christian I come to God through Jesus and no one else, those who seek to go another way ,are classed as a thieves and a robbers.[John 10v1 ],as the old chorus says ,you must go in at the door, and that door is Jesus.[John 10v9]. [ Dear God open the eyes of men and women to see and accept the truth ,that there is only one God and one way to come to You, in Jesus name we ask this Amen ]
