How do you get to my Living Room? The Door

Picture this…

My house has only one door of enter / exist. You enter through it to come in and out of the house right? You might say duh, yeah!!! But check this out; many people think there is many ways to come to God. But, that contradicts what Jesus Christ has said. He says he is the Way, the Truth, the Life, no man comes to the father except through Him John 14:6. That means He is right, or the other religions are right, but not both are right. Jesus Christ doesn’t allow for it. Let’s go back to my house analogy. The only way to get in and out of my house is by my front door. You might think you can get in my house through the other boundaries of my house and probably could, but that is not the right absolute way to get in. That is my little house and not heaven. Just imagine “Heaven” perfect without sin, holy, house of God almighty. The standards are much higher. The reason why all other religions are wrong is because Jesus Christ payment on the Cross would make no sense. The reason Jesus came to early as the “Perfect Lamb of God” was to come on one mission. That was to come and to seek and to save the lost. He came to set sinners, like you and I free from our sins. Do you know what keeps us out of heaven? It is called “Sin”. Sin separates us from God. Sin is what caused this world to fall when Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3). Since that sin, we the fallen race of mankind have been covered with a curse. Unless we repent of our sins and trust is Jesus Christ to be our perfect substitute / propitiation person to take our sins away, then we can enter heaven. But if we die in our sins, we then will not enter heaven. The Bible says we can’t earn it, work for it, or do anything to get into heaven. The Bible says that Jesus Christ came as God incarnate to live a perfect sinless life, without sin, and die a horror able death on the cross to be our propitiation and take God’s Wrath by himself and then conquer death and live on. That is the gospel. Do you see, the Bible says for forgiveness of sin, there has to be shedding of blood. So whose blood will be shed when you die? Yours or Christ’s? Do you see, if you sin one time, you are automatically disqualified for heaven. Only way to get to heaven is be perfect or repent and trust Jesus Christ to die in your place and live for him daily. If you are not perfect, you need your sins forgiven. The only religion that can do that is Christianity. God had it like that. All the other religions are work-righteous religions. Christianity says the opposed. Christianity says the only way to God is through Jesus Christ. No other roads lead to heaven. You might say that is harsh and why is that so? First, you have to understand God’s amazing plan for mankind. He knew from the beginning that man would sin and that we would follow our own way. But he was so loving that he sent his ONLY begotten Son, the Son of God to come to the early and live that perfect life and die the horrorable death and be our propitiation for us. Then he offered us free will. We have the choice to accept his amazing plan and repent and trust it or we have the choice to reject it and go to hell as we choose. Do you see the picture? He doesn’t send people to hell, they choose hell. Remember, to get into a house, there must be a door to go through! Smile!

Jesus says he is the only door to enter Luke 13:24. Many will try other doors, but he is the only door to enter! Amen!
