Find Your Own Way to God

   

    The first major doctrine that needs to be challenged is the concept that God intended salvation to be relativistic and pluralistic. We often hear the mantra, "we have to find our own road to God."  This is NOT the message that the Scriptures give us.  (Remember, this blog is based upon the Word of God and the Christianity which the Scriptures present.)
     First, let me say, salvation is open to all people.  John 3:16 states, "For God so loved the world..."  He did not simply love a select few.  We also have the understanding that "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13)  Titus adds, "For the Grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men." (Titus 2:11)  All means all, so every person has the opportunity to receive salvation from God.
      Since all have the opportunity to be saved, can each person find God His own way?  Can we each come to God on our own terms?  Again, let us refer to the Scriptures.  Jesus said, "... I am the way,the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6)  The Book of Acts records, "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."  A third verse we could look to is John 3:36 which states, "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him"  These verses alone should make it abundantly clear that unless you believe on Jesus Christ as Savior, you are not going to get to Heaven.  Instead you will face the wrath of God.
     Everyone CAN come to God, but you have to come HIS way! The modern theology which states that we can find God in our own way is a false doctrine that has many thinking they have found a relationship with God, when they have been fooled into worshiping a god of their own choosing. I pray that people will wake up to this delusion and come to know Jesus Christ as Savior before it is too late. We can try to satisfy the judgment penalty of sin in other ways, but we will find it falling short.  Prophetically, Isaiah gives us the answer on how to satisfy God's standards,"He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities" (Isaiah 53:11)
     In the relativism of our modern world, it sounds great to have the ability to approach God anyway we want, but the Truth of the matter is that, again, we must come to God in His prescribed way. It is especially disturbing to me to hear of those claiming to be Christians espousing such a damaging doctrine.  Let us know and stand for the truth!
     So let me ask YOU, the reader a question; Do YOU know Jesus Christ as your Savior?  Have you called upon His name?  Do YOU trust HIM for your salvation, or are you trusting in something else?
"And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ,..." (I John 3:23)
