Retired Denver Broncos linebacker Randy Gradishar dedicated his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame to Jesus Christ on Saturday, evangelizing to those in the audience by presenting the Gospel of salvation that was presented to him at age 22.

The 72-year-old Gradishar, a former Ohio State University standout who played 10 seasons with the Broncos, was one of several athletes inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, during Saturday's ceremony.

During his acceptance speech, Gradishar repeatedly brought up his Christian faith. At the beginning of his remarks, he identified himself as a member of Brave Church in Denver. He dedicated his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame to his "Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ," expressing gratitude that He "gave me His life so I could be built to last."

Hate he adds a work of repenting to faith. Also the name/title Jesus states many times to believe who, Jesus is to receive Eternal Life salvation. Is The Son of God / The Messiah / The Christ, the resurrection and the life.

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
She said to Him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”


And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.

Not to be your personal Lord and savior."


"Jesus Christ's death on the cross, the darkest day in history, and Jesus' resurrection earned Jesus the right to proclaim 'I am the way, the truth and the life and no one comes to the father but through me.'"

This also is some what miss leading. Jesus can proclaim He is the way because He is God The Son. His death and resurrection did not earn Jesus the right to be the way, the truth and the life. Jesus has always been the way, the truth and the life. People were saved long before Jesus died on the cross.

The cross (death) and resurrection proved that He Jesus was who He said He was. The Son of God The promised Messiah.
