Know what you believe!

Let us understand our faith! Let’s not confuse the command to love one another as being greater than God’s revealed path to salvation. Jesus is very clear when He said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6) “Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.” (John 3:18)

This is the word of God. I either believe all of scripture or I do not, and if I do not believe all of it, then I cannot believe any of it. If I do not believe scripture, then I do not have faith. Without faith, there is no righteousness. And without the imputed righteousness of Christ, I cannot enter into the presence of God Most High. And if I do not enter into God’s presence, then I have no salvation and am condemned.

While some may preach that there are multiple paths to salvation, their preaching is not of the Bible. It may be hard for us to trust a just God; we may not understand how religious people will not find salvation within their own religion; why truly good non-believers are not also promised entrance into God's presence based on their goodness, while not-so-good believers are promised salvation. But ours is neither to judge others nor question God's promise. Ours is to believe the Word of God and have faith that God's justice is greater than our understanding.
