Road to salvation (#2)

The United States was founded on Judeo-Christian principles and God blessed this country because we were a Christian nation. Christianity is slowly being eroded in this country and the signs are evident in every facet of American life. The secular world is becoming more and more progressive (liberal) and godless. Our education system has now successfully removed God from the classroom and the media has further indoctrinated the masses to the point where Christianity has been marginalized by declaring there are multiple paths to God and all religions are relevant. Our culture now demands we be more inclusive of the beliefs of others and states there is no such thing as absolute truth. Political correctness is pushed to damp down any dissent from the masses.

God made us spiritual beings with a need to seek our Creator. Satan is aware of our need and seeks to lead people away from the truth of God by sponsoring many alternative fake religions. If Satan can convince you there are many paths to God then fewer will find the true path to salvation. If Satan can convince you absolute truth is a moving target that means whatever you want it to mean then you’re less likely to find the absolute truth of God’s Word. If Satan can shame you or brainwash you into believing you should be inclusive of the beliefs of others you will be less likely to believe that Jesus is the only path to eternal life. If Satan can harass and intimidate you into becoming politically correct he will have silenced you and the truth of God’s Word.

Matthew 7:14-14 – (Jesus speaking) – Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

Let’s be clear. If Jesus isn’t the only way to heaven Christianity is a fraud. All the world’s religions, except Hinduism, also claim their faith is the only path to heaven. We can’t be inclusive and claim there are multiple paths to heaven when virtually every religion makes their own exclusive claim to be the one true path to God and heaven. We can’t include every religion as a path to heaven without excluding our own. If every path is true then none are. Common sense will tell you either all paths to God are false or there is only one true path. The trick is to study the evidence and determine which faith is true. Only Christianity has a body of irrefutable evidence that Jehovah is God.

Christianity has already lost the battle for the soul of America. We knew it was going to happen because the Bible said that would be the case in the end times which we are currently in. 70% of Americans who attend church believe many religions lead to eternal life and even among evangelical Christians 57% believe all religions lead to heaven. Many church leaders have thrown in the towel by disavowing the exclusivity of the gospel message of Christ as the only path to heaven and it breaks my heart. Christianity has caved from the outside pressure of the secular world and also from within our own ranks. Christianity has been routed but not annihilated. Take heart in the fact that while we’ve lost the battle we’ll eventually win the war because God’s Word assures us the ultimate victory is ours if we stand fast in the face of sure defeat and never surrender the field of battle.

2 Corinthians 11:15 – Therefore it is no great thing if his (Satan’s) ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.

Americans of all stripes have accepted same sex marriage as okay and the Supreme Court has made it the law of the land. God calls homosexuality an abomination. The country as a whole no longer believes Jesus is the only way to heaven but God’s Word says otherwise. While we must obey the laws of our country, our core beliefs must align with God’s Word. We shouldn’t seek confrontation but neither should we back away from our beliefs. If you want to win the spiritual battle with Satan you must be aware of the spiritual warfare going on all around us for the souls of men otherwise you’re a, “dead man walking,” and already defeated. You must understand and accept the exclusivity of Christ as our core belief and to lose it is to lose our soul. It’s ground zero in our war with satanic forces. If we lose this war billions will go to hell. We must fight on. As foot soldiers for Jesus we need to reach out to the unsaved with compelling reasoning (logic) based on our study of the Bible plus we need to have unwavering resolve in the face of stiff resistance from the secular world.

2 Corinthians 5:20 – Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.
