I understood his confusion, being so sure I was right when I was not. If he had done what he was sure was right, he would have been wrong. It would not have mattered what anyone had told him was correct. It would not have mattered that he was certain he was right. The only way to his chosen destination was through the correct gate.
Heaven is like that. I sometimes hear people talk as if they can decide the correct way to God. As if it is our decision how to repair our broken relationship with Him. God is very clear about the correct way to reach heaven – through Jesus. And the way to Jesus is clear – be born again. It does not matter what anyone tells you, or even what you are convinced is right. God is the only one who can fix our relationship with Him. And He makes it clear how to do that. The only way to do that.
So why listen to me? It really doesn’t matter what I say. And you are right. Do not assume that I am telling you the correct way to heaven. See what God said. If you would like to know more about what God says about the only way back to Him, I’ll be happy to share where He said it. So you can see it for yourself, know it for yourself, and be certain for yourself. Not because someone told you, but because God told you. So write me at steve@hopeforlife.org.
