"Are There Many Ways To God?"
In today's world of religious pluralism, Christians are in constant contact with people of different faiths. Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Mormonism, Christian Science, New Age, Jehovah witnesses, do all these religions lead to God. First I would like to say that this article has nothing to do with me trying to prove myself to be right. This article is about challenging people to seek the one true God and being more of the deceptions in that is plaguing our society. So do all religions lead to God? Can you get to God without accepting Jesus as your Lord and savior? John 14:6 "Jesus said to him, " I am the way, truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." Jesus makes it very clear that He is the way of Salvation. No one can go through any other religion and inherit eternal life.

If we still study the idea of all roads leading to God and that all of us could achieve His approval by reaching for the top, there is still one problem with it: we do not get an assurance of salvation. When we try to reach the top, we do not experience any assurance of salvation. It cannot be received like that and we will miss it.
ReplyDeletePaul Little refers to this. He describes how the Hindus, Buddhists, and Muslims do not have an assurance of salvation, but this also applies to Western people who have grown in a Christian culture:
