There Is No Other Stream — Part One

by Alistair Begg

Isaiah 45:20-25, Philippians 2:9-11  (ID: 2754)

The world around us is often skeptical of or even hostile to the idea of absolute truth. This can make it difficult to share Jesus’ exclusive claims. Mature Christians must have clarity and confirmation in their hearts regarding the sufficiency of the Bible, says Alistair Begg. While declaring only one way, one name, and one mediator between God and man may bring persecution, it is also the only message that can and will truly save.

Topics:
Isaiah 45: 20 -25

20“Assemble yourselves and come;

draw near together,

you survivors of the nations!

They have no knowledge

who carry about their wooden idols,

and keep on praying to a god

that cannot save.

21Declare and present your case;

let them take counsel together!

Who told this long ago?

Who declared it of old?

Was it not I, the Lord?

And there is no other god besides me,

a righteous God and a Savior;

there is none besides me.

22“Turn to me and be saved,

all the ends of the earth!

For I am God, and there is no other.

23By myself I have sworn;

from my mouth has gone out in righteousness

a word that shall not return:

‘To me every knee shall bow,

every tongue shall swear allegiance.’4

24“Only in the Lord, it shall be said of me,

are righteousness and strength;

to him shall come and be ashamed

all who were incensed against him.

25In the Lord all the offspring of Israel

shall be justified and shall glory.”

Philippians 2: 9 -11

9Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
