Many gods or 1 God?
Q: There are many gods in the world, how is This God the right one?
A: Since the beginning there has only existed one God. YHWH. This God is the only true and living God. He was the only living God from the beginning, but people made up their own gods (false beliefs) cuz they love their sin and do not want the truth (*exchange truth for a lie). They do not understand. They are blind by sin, pride and self righteousness and few listen to reason (*). And so since creation, after Cain, with sin in the world, people turned from God (* each has gone his own way, *think is good but leads to death) to do what they thought was right(*), things they wanted to do, and among them were to choosing to worship sticks, stones, and birds. They made a God of their imagination (either physically or mentally) that they preferred over the truth.
As if they can run from God (*depths of sea) and avoid being accountable to him for their sins. (*all men will give an account). They pretend death & God's judgment of sin doesn't exist.
In creating false gods, they violated the 1st commandment "not to have other gods", nor make them and worship them(*). Those things are false idols and rubbish. God wants everyone else to know the truth and be in a right mind, turn to it. Turn from being blind to seeing reality. Turn from lies to truth.
The false religions all have a works focused religion which is based in self righteousness, in things they think make them good(**), and ways they think will please some false god they made up. God calls all those things, works, attempts, etc as "trash only fit to be burned".(*) God will not be bribed.
They falsely think sinful people can fix their sinful condition and still get to God. Only God who is perfect can fix sinners, and he has made that way possible.
The way has been foretold since Genesis when Adam sinned, & that coming Messiah and Savior was told throughout the OT times thru Israel. Then the Messiah arrived, completed his mission, and now offers salvation thru Him. This is that way. It is the only one way to be made right with God.
Only one way: Jesus blood sacrifice is the only payment/way God will accept for forgiveness of sins. Once that sin debt is paid he gives us Christ's righteousness to cover us, and also gives us the free gift of eternal life.
Salvation requires laying aside whatever you are trying to do, and go the way God offers. Going thru Him to be made right is the only option. When you do, He gives a new nature, spiritual life and eternal life. It comes with a personal relationship with God that begins now and lasts eternally.
