The True Way

Deuteronomy 4:
32 Ask now about the former days, long before your time, from the day God created man on the earth; ask from one end of the heavens to the other. Has anything so great as this ever happened, or has anything like it ever been heard of? 33 Has any other people heard the voice of God speaking out of fire, as you have, and lived? 34 Has any god ever tried to take for himself one nation out of another nation, by testings, by miraculous signs and wonders, by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, or by great and awesome deeds, like all the things the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?

35 You were shown these things so that you might know that the LORD is God; besides him there is no other. 36 From heaven he made you hear his voice to discipline you. On earth he showed you his great fire, and you heard his words from out of the fire. 37 Because he loved your forefathers and chose their descendants after them, he brought you out of Egypt by his Presence and his great strength, 38 to drive out before you nations greater and stronger than you and to bring you into their land to give it to you for your inheritance, as it is today.

It struck me a I read this passage that the great and marvelous things God did for Moses and the people of Israel were written not just for them but for us as well. Search the religions, sects and faiths of the world. Where do we find a testimony of the truth so vivid as here? The children of Israel were assembled at the base of the mountain when the Ten Commandments were given to Moses by God. They heard the voice of God! The saw the miraculous judgements against their captors. They saw the water turn to blood. They saw the plagues. They saw the Red Sea split in two and walked through the middle. They saw Pharoah's army swallowed up when they tried to cross. And these are for us as well, so that we might know the true God and believe.

Then when Jesus came, he performed miracle after miracle, healing the blind, turning water into wine, curing multitudes of sick, feeding 5000 with a few loafs of bread, walking on water, raising the dead and himself rising from the dead. This is what he said:

John 15:24 If I had not done among them what no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen these miracles, and yet they have hated both me and my Father.

He has done what no one else did. What I hear this saying is that there is no reason to choose any other religion or god. For the Truth has spoken and we are without cause to reject it or refuse to believe it.

John 20:30 Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. 31But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
