Wrong Way! Turn Around!

There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death. Proverbs 14:12

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through me." John 14:6



Humans have an endless number of paths, ways that appear to their thinking leading to a good conclusion for them and others, but God disagrees with each and all of them that exclude is salvation in Jesus Christ, His Son.

Here we are talking about the significant difference between humans flawed idea of right and wrong, truth and lie, and divine wisdom and God's. Humans judgment of moral and eternal matters is many times used in a magisterial manner rather than a proper ministerial fashion. Way or path is a much used biblical word to indicate one's belief, trust or faith and the consequences that such faith result in.

God consistently emphasizes and implores all of us to turn from our wrong ways, our wrong thinking and return back to Him in Jesus as the true path, the only path to correct thinking, living and eternal life. This is the constant emphasis of the Bible: repent (turn around, go back) and believe in the Good News, the Gospel that Jesus is the only Savior of your sins and the only way/path to eternal life!

There are many people who try all kinds of ways to peace of mind and confidence in their lifestyles, but all these without proper faith in Christ lead to eternal death, Proverbs 14:12 declares. An acquaintance just said this human false thinking that all religious paths lead to the same end and God. I expressed my intense disagreement by saying if eternal life is equated with going to the Detroit Metro Airport this evening and arriving in Baltimore and there is only one flight going to Baltimore tonight, will getting on any flight get you to Baltimore tonight? Jesus is the only path/way that is going to heaven, all others end up in death. The Hebrew word here used for "death" refers not just to physical death, but also to everlasting death as well.

We have amazing GPS systems now to guide us to our destinations. Thanks be to God that He has provided us with an eternal GPS system, His Holy Bible, which leads us to repent (turn back) from our sin and turn in faith to Jesus, the way to forgiveness of our sin and eternal life.
