Christian Vanguard
ARE CHRISTIANS THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO WILL
GO TO HEAVEN.
I remember when I was in the University, one
good Saturday morning two people came to
share the word of God with my room mate and I.
They told us that Jesus is the only way to God,
that if any one does not believe and accept
Jesus as Lord and Saviour, that such a person
would be condemned to hell. I am a Christian
though not a dedicated one but I go to church
almost every sunday because that was what I
know Christianity to mean. I got infuriated with
them for the statement that only Christians will
make it to heaven. How can it be Christians only
when several people in this world from other
religion were actually living a better upright life
than some Christians. I couldn't just accept it
that God will condemn people to hell for not
believing in Jesus while their lives are good.
Today some still harbour this belief even
Christians.
Fast forward to 2013 when I was born again, this
was the day I redicated my life back to God, the
day I started making frantic effort to live a godly
life. This was the day I decided in my heart that I
was not going to continue living my old life of
fornication, alcoholic intake, partying etc. God
started dealing with me, my first step was to
stop girl friend thing, because I know that so far
I continue relationship with the opposite sex I
will never avoid fornicating. It was not an easy
task, but I discovered that when you make a
decision and you invite God to help you, God will
help.
One day I was reading the bible around 2014, the
book of Acts 4:10 Be it known unto you all, and
to all the people of Israel, that by the name of
Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified,
whom God raised from the dead, even by him
doth this man stand here before you whole. 4:12
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there
is none other name under heaven given among
men, whereby we must be saved. Let me say
this unless the Lord opens your heart you will
misinterprete this scripture. The Lord told me
that day, that Jesus was given to the whole
world not just the Isrealites, that the people of
the world might be save if they put their faih in
Jesus by believing that he is the son of God.
Today some still argues that Jesus is not the
son of God, they say how can God have a human
being as a son. Do you even remember that even
the Jews said that Jesus is comparing himself
to God when Jesus told them that he is from
God. Even when he told them that he was in
existence before Abraham the Jews sought to
kill him. It is still the same story from some
today who say that Jesus is a great prophet of
God but not the son or the only way to God but
thank God they are still many who put away
human reasoning and they believe in Jesus these
are the people that are called Christians. 1 John
2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath
not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son
hath the Father also.The question as to whether
Christians will be the only ones that will go to
heaven is very clear from several bible passages.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way,
the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the
Father, but by me. Don't let anybody deceive
you. They told you that so far you are living a
good life and even if you don't have Christ that
you will make it to heaven. I tell you, its not
possible, because what you call good life is
filtheness before God. Self righteousness can not
save any man on the face of this earth. Isaiah
64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all
our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we
all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the
wind, have taken us away. Now let it be clear to
you also that its not every Christian that will
make it to heaven. Matthew 7:21 Not every one
that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into
the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the
will of my Father which is in heaven. 1 Peter
4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved,
where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
It therefore meas that having accepted Jesus as
Lord and Saviour your daily walk as a Christian
must show inwardly and outwardly that you
belong to Jesus otherwise eternal life is not for
you. If you continue living in sin even after
claiming to be a Christian you will miss heaven.
A child of God does not live in sin comfortably
though he/she might make a mistake and fall
into sin but he will rise back to a godly lifestyle.
Proverbs 24:16 For a just man falleth seven
times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall
fall into mischief.
