Only One Way To God!
"Nor is there salvation in any other, for
there is no other name under heaven
given
among men by which we must be saved."
Acts 4: 12
The Roman Emperor Caesar Augustus established a
“zero-mile”
monument in Rome to measure distances throughout the empire.
It eventually led to, “All roads lead to Rome.”
A variant on that idea is found in modern computer and phone
software that maps various routes from “city A” to “city B”—
different roads leading to the same destination.
Sadly, this idea of “multiple roads, one destination” has made its way into
theology: “All roads lead to God.” Proponents of this idea suggest that
all
religions have the same ultimate destination. Said another way, “There
are
many ways to get to God.” However, the Bible doesn’t support this
idea.
The apostle Peter was clear when speaking to the Jewish elders
after
Pentecost. He stated clearly that the Name (Person) of Jesus is the
only
means of salvation. Paul echoed this position when he wrote that
there's
only one Mediator between God and man, “the Man Christ
Jesus”
(1 Timothy 2:5).
Don’t be confused by non-biblical positions on
salvation.
There is only one road to God and His heaven. That
road
begins and ends with Jesus.
