In John 18:38 Pontius Pilate asked Jesus "What is truth?" Pilate had the truth right before him. He didn't really want to know the truth and that's why Jesus didn't answer him. So sometimes people really do not want to know the truth. We know because of Pilate's actions and by the way we see so many people today going to other religions. Lets look at the truth of which nations are blessed and prosperous and which ones are still bound in in poverty and bondage to their leaders. The nations who believe in Jesus Christ are the ones that are blessed and prosperous and the others are in poverty and bondage to those that rule over them. John 8:31-33 (NKJV)
31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.
32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
The truth is in Jesus Christ and no one else. When you ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins against God and invite Him into your heart you will experience the truth and if you abide in Him you will know the truth about which religion is true and which is false. Jesus said in John 14:6 (NKJV)
6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. This is the only truth. There are not many truths. There is the truth and everything else is false. So this being the case we cannot except other religions that try to tell us there are other ways to God. I repeat there is only one truth and its found in Jesus Christ. No other religion has a Savior. They are all trying to find the way to God by trying to be good. But their good is only in their eyes. The bible says there is none good, no not one. Psalms 14:3 (NKJV)
They have all turned aside, They have together become corrupt; There is none who does good, No, not one. Romans 3:9-12 (NKJV)
9 What then? Are we better than they? Not at all. For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin.
10 As it is written: "There is none righteous, no, not one;
11 There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God.
12 They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one." Now we can see why mankind needs a Savior. If none are good in God's eyes then no one can work their way into His presence and spend an eternity with Him. Just keeping rules and laws does not change a corrupt and sinful heart, it takes the Holy Spirit of God working within us to make that change. Just look at what people do who call themselves good. They can even kill for no cause, subject people to bondage and poverty and call it good. Jesus was the only One who never sinned. God Himself sent Jesus to save us from our sins. That is the truth. Do you know of anyone who has never sinned? Therefore we need a Savior and that Savior is none other than Jesus Christ the Anointed One, the only begotten Son of God. If you need further proof that the bible is truth, what if everyone lived as the bible says to live? The result would be perfection. No other religion offers that. I challenge anyone to sincerely seek the truth and ask God to show them. If you want to know the truth to act on it, God will show you the truth. Deep in your soul you will know. The truth is if you ask Jesus Christ to forgive you and invite Him into your life and then confess Him with your mouth as your Lord and Savior and then believe in you heart that God raised Him from the dead you will be saved and His Spirit will begin to work in your life. Then you will be a new creation and old things will pass away, thus a heart change. 2 Corinthians 5:17) You will have a home in heaven when you leave this earth.
