Myth, 50

~ All Religions Are Basically Equal ~

Myth  ~  All religions are basically the same.  All roads lead to heaven. 

Reality  ~  First, only Christianity has a living Savior!  No other religion can, or does, make that claim.  Second, only Christianity does not require good works in order to gain favor with God.  Christianity is based on the finished work of salvation accomplished by Christ on the Cross.  Third, those two factors make the major difference.  Rather than following a set of rules as in religions Christianity offers a personal relationship with their Savior.   In other words, other religions are about DOING while Christianity is about the work of salvation being DONE. 

All roads do NOT lead to heaven.  “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through Me’” (John 14:6).

Closing Comment  ~  If you score a touchdown you feel great.  But what if you ran the wrong way and scored for the wrong team?  Are you doing things God’s way or Satan’s way?  Are you sure?  If, when life is over, you find you were on the wrong end of the field the consequences will be enormous.  Maybe, just maybe, it is wise to listen to what your Creator says about eternal matters.
