John 10:10. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.
Why must we proclaim Jesus Life? Because He is the only way to God. He alone was born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14), untouched by the lineage of Adam and free from the devil’s power.
This is why Satan flees when we confess that Jesus was born of the virgin. No one understands the consequences of the virgin birth better than Satan himself. The offspring of the woman—the True King—crushed his head by dying on the cross and rising from the dead (Genesis 3:15).
Throughout history, many religious leaders have emerged, but only Jesus of Nazareth proved that He was the Christ. He boldly declared:
“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).
When Peter proclaimed Jesus as the Christ, the Son of the living God, he courageously stood before the rulers, elders, and teachers of the law in Jerusalem and declared:
“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).
Peter was not preaching another religion—he was proclaiming life itself. Jesus came not to establish a system of beliefs but to give true life. Why proclaim only Jesus Life? Because He alone brings freedom:
*”Through Christ Jesus, the law of the Spirit of life has set you free from the law of sin and death” (Romans 8:2).*
Are you still struggling under the weight of your past? Meet the True Priest, Jesus, at Calvary. He loved you, died for you, and cut away your sinful nature. Through His suffering, He secured your freedom, fulfilling the law’s requirements. Because of Him, there is no more condemnation, guilt, or shame.
The blood of Christ changed everything. His sacrifice erased every charge against you—God remembers your sins no more. Because of the cross, you have become God’s righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21).
In Christ, you have been justified. God sees you as holy and blameless. Your old life has died with Christ, so do not rely on your own efforts or emotions. Do not allow anything to trap you—stand firm in who God says you are.
Why proclaim only Jesus Life? Because only through His name does the Holy Spirit come:
“But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you” (John 14:26).
Only the Spirit gives life (John 6:63). In the Old Testament, life came through blood sacrifices—the Christ. In the New Testament, life comes through the cross—the Christ. If you believe in Jesus as the Christ, the Holy Spirit lives within you, and you belong to Him. No one can stand against you.
When you received Jesus into your heart, the Holy Spirit made His home in you (Ephesians 3:17). He will never leave you. Do not be deceived by your weaknesses, the world, or Satan. You are God’s temple, where His Spirit dwells, and nothing can destroy it.
Why proclaim only Jesus Life? Because the day is coming when all human striving will end in failure and despair. Burdens will grow too heavy to bear. That is why Jesus invites us:
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30).
Jesus Life brings true hope, true strength, and true victory. The Early Church experienced this life, which is why they never stopped teaching and preaching the gospel that Jesus is the Christ (Acts 5:42).
We need this Jesus Life movement in our lives, our families, our communities, our nation, and the world. First, know that you possess this life—and this life is in the Son of God! (1 John 5:11-13). Experience life to the full! (John 10:10). And give life! (Acts 3:6).
Prayer. Father, I thank You for making me alive in Christ. Help me experience life to the fullest. Use my life to bring life to those still bound by the law of sin and death. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
