In a world that seems to be filled with evil, pain, and suffering, surviving without Jesus is a struggle beyond what anyone can bear alone. The Bible tells us that without Christ, we are spiritually lost, without hope, and vulnerable to the attacks of the enemy. But with Jesus, there is hope, life, and an eternal promise of salvation.
Jesus Himself declared, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6, KJV). This means that without Jesus, there is no access to God, no lasting peace, and no true direction in life. The evils of this world can consume those who walk without the light of Christ, leaving them empty, broken, and separated from God.
JFM emphasizes the message of salvation because we understand that Jesus is more than just a Savior; He is our everything. If you are without a father or mother, feeling lost or abandoned, Jesus becomes your Father. The Bible reassures us that God is a Father to the fatherless: “A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation” (Psalm 68:5, KJV). His love fills the void that no human relationship can ever fully satisfy.
Jesus is our refuge and strength. The world may be full of danger, uncertainty, and heartache, but His love shields those who place their trust in Jesus. “The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe” (Proverbs 18:10, KJV). Without Jesus, we face life’s storms without shelter, but we find safety, peace, and purpose with Him.
Even in times of deep sorrow, loneliness, or trial, Jesus walks beside us. He promised in His Word: “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee” (Hebrews 13:5, KJV). Jesus is constant, unchanging, and all-sufficient. He is everything we need, even when it feels like we have nothing or no one else in the world.
The Bible teaches that navigating life without Jesus leads to destruction. “For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” (Matthew 16:26, KJV). No amount of wealth, power, or worldly success can save us from the evil that surrounds us, but Jesus can. His blood, shed on the cross, covers our sins and offers us eternal life.
Salvation in Jesus means more than survival; it means thriving in a relationship with God and walking in the abundant life Jesus promises. “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10, KJV). Without Him, we live in fear and defeat, but with Him, we live in victory.
No matter how difficult life becomes, or how much evil seems to be around us, Jesus offers the way to overcome. “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33, KJV). This is the hope that JFM shares with those we serve, knowing that only through Jesus can we truly survive and be victorious in this world.
When you have Jesus, you have everything.
