THE ONLY DOOR TO HEAVEN
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.” – John 10:1–3
Paul Chappell said, “The most important question every individual must answer is the question that determines his or her eternal destiny. Despite what many in our day teach and promote, God has clearly and firmly declared that there is only one way to Heaven. There are not many paths all leading in the same general direction that eventually get everyone to the right destination. The only way that we can be justified in the sight of God is to accept in faith the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross on our behalf. Many people fail to receive salvation because while they believe that Jesus is important, they also wrongly think that they have to be part of the process by doing something to deserve or earn salvation.”
Dr. Curtis Hutson put it this way: “I am a church member. I have been baptized. I try to live right. I have been preaching since I was twenty years old. I travel every week of my life going from church to church throughout this country to preach the gospel. But I do none of these things to be saved. My only hope of Heaven is the fact that Jesus Christ died for me. He paid my sin debt. I am trusting Him alone for salvation. I am not trusting my good works, my church membership, my baptism, or anything else. When we stand before God, the only thing that He will count is what His Son did at Calvary.” Salvation is only found in Christ alone, and anything we try to add to His gift keeps us from truly receiving it.
