The Only Way
Karen was a young woman who had gone to church her whole life. But she said recently, some people in her church started asking her questions that she couldn’t answer. Karen said, “They started asking me if I was “saved,” or “born again.” I don’t even know what that means,” she said. “Doesn’t everyone who attends church end up in heaven, anyway?”
Unfortunately, this is a common belief among certain church-goers. But, as I told Karen, it’s simply not the truth. The Bible tells us that the only way to heaven is to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was crucified on the cross for our sins, and rose again to sit at the right hand of God. Attending church, and doing religious activities, doesn’t make you a Christian – anymore than being in an airport makes you a pilot!
Only through a relationship with Jesus can you experience the gift of eternal life. Jesus says in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father except by me.” Do you have some of the same questions that Karen did? Why not check it out for yourself? Read chapters 10 and 14 in the Gospel of John. Ask God to reveal himself to you through His Word, and confirm the truth of what I’m saying. He will do it!
