No Way of Escape Without Christ

No Way of Escape Without Christ

“How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him” – Hebrews 2:3 (NKJV)

There is no way out of the battles of life without Christ's saving grace. The struggles we face—whether internal or external—cannot be overcome by human strength, intellect, or self-reliance. The world offers many substitutes: self-help, philosophies, politics, and pleasure. Yet, none of these can save the soul or secure true peace.

We live in a time where many deliberately reject God. Some nations openly declare themselves godless, and individuals proudly live as if there’s no accountability beyond this life. But denying the truth does not erase it. The question in Hebrews 2:3 still rings with piercing urgency: “How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?”

God's salvation is not a small offer—it is great because it cost the life of His only Son. Jesus came not to condemn the world, but to save it. “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” (John 3:17). However, the next verses in John 3 warn us soberly: “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already... and the wrath of God abides on him.” (John 3:18, 36).

Christ is not an option—He is the only way. Without Him, there is no escape from the judgment to come. Without Him, there is no anchor in the storms of life. Without Him, there is no lasting peace, no true joy, and no eternal life.

Let us not be among those who neglect this great salvation. Let us cling to Christ, proclaim Him boldly, and live daily in the light of His grace.
