Theological Crisis
Sad and exciting times we live in. Last years survey released in Feb 2009 at Pew Forum of Religious and Public Life states 65% of America now believes Heaven is not exclusively for those who accept Christ as Savior. 52% said Jesus is not the only way to get to Heaven. Matthew 15:14 "Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch." Blind leading Blind? OK, if you never go to church = your Blind. If you take heed to a man in the pulpit who never testifies of a place God has called him to preach = your as blind as he is; If you never turn on your flashlight in the dark (open your Bible to read it)you are in the dark = blind. Today people are so blind they call evil good and good evil. A blind man says Abortion = good, and giving birth to a precious child = evil. I was sitting in an Appalachian class of Seniors about 5 years ago and we all had presentations to give on our area of occupation, I did salvation. Not one person in the classroom of counseling could tell me how to get to heaven when I asked. All were shocked I would pick such a subject in a class that is designed to help counsel others (I was shocked they were shocked). If you don't tell people about the Prince of Peace how will they ever find any peace? If we don't tell others about the True God of heaven how can they expect to go to Heaven? Here is something to chew on John 14:6 (Jesus Speaking) "...no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 3:36 " He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him." and I John 5:12 "He that hath the Son hath life; [and] he that hath not the Son of God hath not life." Being good, being baptised, living clean, will never get anyone into heaven, only those who pray and believe, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."Romans 10:9-10. I am thankful to be one of the children of light. Are you blind?
Well said!
