How can a man be in the right before God?
\n\u2013Job 9:2<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Right now, conservative Christians are waffling and wavering on the foundational belief of Christianity\u2013that salvation is available only to those who trust in Christ as Savior. A Pew study revealed that 70 percent of Americans with a religious affiliation say many religions can lead to eternal life. You say, \u201cMost religious people in America are not necessarily Christian. Surely the statistic among evangelical Christians is different.\u201d Not by much. The same study revealed that 57 percent of evangelical church attenders believe that many religions can lead to eternal life.<\/p>\n

You may say: \u201cAs long as I believe in Jesus, what difference does it make if there are other ways to heaven?\u201d The difference it makes is this: What you believe about the exclusivity of Christ for salvation determines whether you spend eternity in heaven or in hell. If you think that\u2019s an exaggeration, consider this illustration. Suppose you want to travel to Houston from Dallas. But instead of driving south to Houston, you mistakenly go north to Oklahoma. No matter how sincere you are, if you keep traveling north, you will never get to Houston. You are going the wrong way. Apart from GPS or a map to guide you, how do you know which of the many roads and highways in Texas will lead you to your desired destination?<\/p>\n

Jesus said if you want to go to heaven, there\u2019s only one way to get there. In Matthew 7:13-14, He said, \u201cEnter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.\u201d Jesus said the way to heaven is narrow. He also slammed the door on any possibility of another route to heaven. In John 14:6, He said, \u201cI am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.\u201d<\/p>\n

This issue of the exclusivity of Christ is the essence of Job 9:2. \u201cHow can a man be in the right before God?\u201d How you answer that question affects not only your eternal destiny but the destiny of your family, your friends, and the entire world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
