The Power We Leave On the Table

There are many who claim today that there are many roads to the top of the mountain. Oprah has claimed that Jesus is not the only way. She has said that for such a vast people there cannot possibly be only one way; one God. Surely, a loving God would not send to Hell those who worship him in a different way. The truth is, God has given us the way to worship him in truth and many have rejected it. It is called the Word of God; The Holy Bible. This Word tells us of a God that is Holy and wants us to approach him on a Holy basis. He is a God that cannot be approached from the standpoint of the world because we are all sinners.
God does not send anyone to Hell. It is a path that is chosen by an unbelieving world. There are many paths in which to take. Nevertheless, there is only one that leads to salvation. John 14:6 says, “Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me’.” Many want to make the road easy, but God’s Son had to sacrifice his life so that we might have eternal salvation. Matthew 7:13 says, “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” Jesus himself has told us that he is the only way to heaven.
