To deny that Jesus Christ is the only Savior is to deny the utter seriousness of the human condition and the gravity of the offense against God. To deny that faith is the only way by which we may apprehend Christ’s riches is to deny the uniqueness of the person and work of the Savior and to deny the clarity of His Word. At stake when we consider Jesus’ claims to exclusivity is the gospel itself. The stakes could not possibly be any higher.

Tim Challies
Tim Challies (* 1976) ist ein kanadischer Autor, Blogger und ehemaliger Pastor aus Toronto, der dem reformiert-baptistischen Spektrum angehört. Bekanntheit erlangte er durch sein reichweitenstarkes Weblog sowie Schriften zu geistlichem Urteilsvermögen, christlicher Medienethik und persönlicher Trauerbewältigung. Für heutige Bibelleser vermittelt er klassische reformierte Theologie für den Alltag, stößt jedoch mit seinen strikt komplementaristischen Positionen und einzelnen publizistischen Stellungnahmen zu innerkirchlichen Konflikten auch auf Kritik.
