Why is it that people let there own feelings twist reality to what they want things to be instead of how things really are. I don't know how many times I've heard someone say, "We'll there's more than one way to get to Heaven" or "If I live a good life and do more good than bad I'll get to Heaven." The Word of God tells us there is only one way to get to Heaven and have eternal life.
Joh 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but by Me.
There it is in a nutshell. If you don't believe and put your faith in Jesus Christ you won't get into Heaven. Now before you get all huffy, that's not me saying that, that's the Word of God that says that which means Jesus said that, not me. Now you might be saying "That certainly is a narrow way of thinking". Guess what, the Word of Gods got that covered also.....
Mat 7:13 Go in through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many there are who go in through it.
Mat 7:14 Because narrow is the gate and constricted is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
The way and the gate is narrow. We can't love the things of the world and make it through the narrow gate. You can't depend on "religion" to get you into heaven. Religion is a ride on the A train straight to hell, I'm talking about a true relationship with Jesus Christ. You can't earn or buy your way into Heaven. If you're a part of a "religion" that requires you to "earn" your way into Heaven, that "religion" is false. To recieve the gift of eternal life, all you have to do is repent and accept the love and grace of Jesus Christ. Yes, it is that simple. He's waiting for you, all you have to do is accept it. Why in the world would you want to try and work your way into heaven when it's there for the taking? That's why Jesus came and died on the cross, he bore our sins on himself. Let me ask you this, if you have to try and earn your way into Heaven, why did he die on the cross? If your a part of any of the many false religions ask yourself that question and read the Word of God and the Word of God only. You don't need a "companion" book to the bible that was written by man. The Bible is the word of God, that's all you need. Bottom line is so many people waste time searching for "their way" when there's only "one way" and that's through Jesus Christ. The purpose of this post wasn't to offend anyone, I don't want anyone going to hell and I love you enough to tell you the truth even if it upsets you.
