“The Bible clearly reminds us that left to ourselves, we would be lost forever. The only reason we can seek Christ in our sinfulness is because Christ has sought us as our Savior.

Such mercy magnifies God’s pursuit of us and crucifies our pride before Him.” ~ David Platt

“To deny that Jesus Christ is the only Savior is to deny the utter seriousness of the human condition and the gravity of the offense against God.

At stake when we consider Jesus’ claims to exclusivity is the gospel itself. The stakes could not possibly be any higher.” ~ Tim Challies
