A man I used to work with described his religious beliefs this way: "God and I have our own thing going. I get up on Sunday morning and enjoy the day in my own way. A pot of good coffee, the Sunday paper, a walk around my yard--it's my way of knowing that everything's right with me and my Maker."
It may sound appealing to believe that we can have our own way of making things right with God. We may like the concept of an individualized faith that is tailor-made to get us into heaven. It fits right in with this day of tolerance for everyone's personal choices.
But there is one problem: The Bible makes it clear that there's only one way of salvation--faith in Jesus Christ.
There is only one true faith (Eph. 4:5). There are not multiple paths to heaven, but one way. Our trust in Christ makes us part of a body of believers with a common faith that centers squarely in Him.
Of course, that common faith is also an individual matter. We must personally trust in Christ as our Savior from sin. Everyone must come to Him the same way--the only way--by faith in Jesus, God's Son. — David C. Egner
There aren't many ways into heaven;
The Bible says there's only one:
Confessing Christ Jesus as Savior,
Believing in God's only Son. --Sper
Only one road leads to heaven--Jesus Christ is the way.
