Dear Friends,
There are two false beliefs which are commonly held that must be examined. One false belief is that all roads lead to heaven, and the other is that there is no Hell. If we embrace either of these, we deny the Bible as the Word of God, and we have no compassion for the lost. A person has the right to choose the faith or religion he wishes, but that does not make all choices correct. Freedom to choose does not absolve a person from the consequences of his choice no matter how sincere he might be. The Bible says that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, and that God is a Holy God who cannot look upon sin. A person may have lived a good life by comparison to others, but our measuring stick is not the lives of other people - it is the life of Jesus.
