Even so, no one is saved by their actions. Everyone has "fallen short"

Who ever lived a life acceptable to God, and no other human will ever
see heaven, apart from accepting God's grace through believing in the
atoning work of Jesus Christ. Our work is to accept God's plan of
salvation (John 6:29). We obey God to please Him *because* of what He
has done for us, and also because of Who He is.

Having seen something of Monty Python's Life of Brian this week
(again) perhaps one could ask a simple question:

was Jesus the only person acclaimed as a messiah around that period?

I only ask because it may be that there were others who were acclaimed
as messiah (and probably died for our sins too) but don't get due
credit. After all, we are required by the bible to stone to death
those who claim to be prophets and messiahs and therefore anyone
setting themselves up as a prophet/messiah are unlikely to live a full
and useful life.
