The Road to God

We live in a culture that tells us that all roads lead to God; It doesn't really matter which religion you adhere to, as long as you believe in something or someone. Personally, I believe in Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God,  spoken of in the Bible. I disagree with the idea that all roads lead to God. Why?

I believe that the Bible is God's word to us. Many people believe that. However, I find more and more often that those who say they believe the Bible is true do not even know what it says! For example: "God helps those who help themselves." - that's NOT in the Bible!  Here's another one -" We are all God's children." No. We are all God's creation. Only those who believe in His Son, Jesus, are called His children.  The following excerpt from the Bible, from the book of Galatians, says this:

   "26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith," - Galatians 3:26 | NIV

As you can see, it clearly states that faith in Jesus is how we become children of God. 1 John (that's near the end of the New Testament) explains that we must accept Jesus in order to reach God.

   "22 Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son. 23 No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also. 24 As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. 25 And this is what he promised us—eternal life."          1 John 2:22-25 | NIV

So I ask you, where do you stand with God? Do you believe in God but prefer to bypass Jesus? These  verses clearly show that this approach to God will not work. If you deny Christ, you are essentially denying both God the Father AND His Son, Jesus. Instead of bypassing Jesus, He should be the center of our worship and in the center of our lives.

Proverbs 3:5-10 CEV says, " 5 With all your heart you must trust the LORD and not your own judgment. 6 Always let him lead you, and he will clear the road for you to follow. 7  Don't ever think that you are wise enough, but respect the LORD and stay away from evil. 8 This will make you healthy,and you will feel strong."

Choose Jesus!
