Synopsis

Life is uncertain! But in an ever-changing, tumultuous world there are still some things that have the mark of authenticity. J. D. Wetterling focuses on six of them from the mouth of Jesus that profoundly affect anyone regardless of race or religion (or lack of it!).

What are these unshakable truths? They are found in John's Gospel - and turn out to be profound revelations from the Son of God's own lips.

NO ONE can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again (John 3:3)

NO ONE can come to me unless the Father Who sent me draws him (John 6:44).

NO ONE comes to the Father except through me (John 14:6).

NO ONE takes it (life) from me, but I lay it down of my own accord (John 10:18).

NO ONE can snatch them [true Christians] out of my hand (John.10:28).

NO ONE will take away your joy (John 16:22b).

The cultural epidemic of today's post-modern thought provokes a common disregard for the idea of absolute truth - people say that your truth is fine for you but mine is fine for me also - but no truth covers us both. Yet, the biblical statements examined here by Wetterling show that truth can be absolute, and forever.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

No one but God can save you from your sins and guarantee eternal life with him. Here's how, in his amazing grace, he does it, in six simple quotes by Jesus, all beginning with "No one...," found in the Gospel of John. They comprise the most important message that can enter the mind of man—how God saves sinners. His words are simple enough for a youth to grasp, profound enough to stagger the mind of an intellectual. God willing, he can change your life forever, or the life of someone you love, in an evening of reading. "No one...” was first published in 2006 by Christian Focus Publications, Ltd., Scotland, UK, under the title, “No one...”: When Jesus says it he means it, now out of print. The text in this edition, but for the subtitle, remains the same. This brief witness to Christ focuses uniquely on just six statements Jesus uttered that can profoundly affect anyone regardless of race, religion or lack thereof. The subject of all six sentences consists of two simple monosyllable words that are beyond argument in their clarity. Some parts of God’s Word are not easy for the human mind to grasp, but the subject of these six sentences is not among them. The subject of these unshakable certainties is “No one.” No one argues about what the phrase, “No one” means. “No one” means not one ... none ... zero. It does not mean some. It does not mean a few. It means none, with no qualifiers, no exceptions, no divine loopholes. These six factual statements are absolute truth, not relative truth, not “true today because I feel that way but who can say about tomorrow.”
