The Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints are set to face off in this year’s Super Bowl. There will be many bets including who will score first, have more passing yards, and have more first downs. However, none of these things make either of the teams a Super Bowl champion. The only way to be this year’s Super Bowl champion is to score more points than the other team during this year’s Super Bowl.
How many ways are there to know God the Father? Jesus said “...I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). We are told in John 3:17-18 “For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe in him stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son”. And how are we saved? Ephesians 2:8-9 tells us “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast”.
At the end of the Super Bowl there will be only one champion. More importantly, we as Christians know that belief in Christ’s redemptive sacrifice for our sins and acceptance of His lordship in our lives is the only way to have a personal relationship with God. Will you take a moment to be thankful that “...everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Acts 2:21)?
