This is probably not going to be one of those feel-good blogs that leaves you all warm and fuzzy. This is probably not going to win me any popularity points or make me the next trendy blogger. Then again, the truth has never been popular.
The truth is that there aren’t many ways to heaven. There’s just one. Jesus Himself didn’t say, “I am one of the ways, one of the truths, and one possible life. You can get to Heaven through me if I fit your lifestyle.”
No. He said, “I am THE way, THE truth, and THE life. No one comes to the Father (or gets to Heaven) but through Me.”
The truth is that hell is real. As much as I would love to say it’s not, as much as the reality of it makes me uncomfortable, I can’t deny that Jesus belived it was real and spoke more about hell than heaven.
The truth is that the Bible is God’s Word and it is without error. It may not always say what I want it to say and I in my own human reasoning would have left some parts out. But thankfully, I didn’t have a say in what got into the Bible.
The truth is that God can save anyone at anytime anywhere who truly believes in Jesus. Not just their parents’s belief. Not just intellectual assent. But real faith that translates into a lifestyle of obedience and surrender. After all, as one pastor has said, “If you don’t live it, you don’t believe it.”
I didn’t make it up. I didn’t come to the truth because I was so very smart and wise. God revealed it to me.
To say that I know the truth isn’t arrogant; to say that no one can know the truth is. Has anyone spoken to every single person alive on the planet to know that none of them know the truth?
To know the truth means I am responsible to live it out. It means it will change everything about me. I can’t be glib about speaking the truth. I must speak it with great humility because apart from the grace of God, I woud never have found it.
I may get called a fundamentalist or a Bible-thumper or arrogant or narrow-minded. I may get defriended or unliked. But for me more important than being popular or liked is to be faithful to what I know to be true. I can’t do anything else.
By the way, the truth will still set you free.

great post…

I agree, but I would go further and say that not only is the Word of God found in the Bible, the Bible is the Word of God. God’s final and complete revelation to the world.
@”the Bible is the Word of God”
– will you agree that the hebrew and greek version of the bible?
– if not then which version? theres alot of versions. right?
– will you consider this verse below to be the word of God?
“For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will
be like God, knowing good and evil.”
– Genesis 3:5
– If faith then comes by hearing and hearing the word of Christ
“faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ”
– Romans 10:17
– then what is the word of God? is it the bible? or is it found in the bible?
The Bible consists of both the Hebrew part (the Old Testament) and the Greek part (the New Testament). I believe all of the Bible is the Word of God. If it’s not, then it’s left up to us to determine which parts are really true and which are not.
