The Phone Number to God

Phone numbers are pretty neat. Actually more than neat, for me they are quite mind boggling. I have no idea how they work; but I do know if you dial a specific number of numerals, use the specific numbers, in a very specific order; it will ring the line of the exact phone you are desiring to connect to. Pretty cool. I also know that if you dial different numbers; or keep the correct numbers, but change the order; or even just change one single number - you will not connect to the line you wish to.

Religion is very similar to this. There are several religions that are so different from each other that you could say they don't even use the same numbers. Then there are religions that are similar enough you could say they have rearranged the numbers. There are even religions that are so close to each other, you could say they have only changed one number. But, do all religions lead to God? NO - there is only one phone number to God, and it is Jesus (and His work on the cross).

"I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no man comes to the Father, but by Me" John 14:6

And the only way to call, is with saving faith. Not belief (intellectual knowledge of Jesus and his existence 2000 years ago), but believing (entrusting yourself to Jesus, who by dying and taking your sin on Himself, is your only way to be right with God). The difference can be seen with a parachute - I may believe a parachute has life saving ability; but unless I entrust myself to it and put it on, when I jump - I will perish. Don't jump (die) without Jesus. Repent and put your faith in Him. If you do, God promises to answer your call!

  1. Great post, so true! Great way to explain to others how all religions are not the same. I saw your blog from the school of biblical evangelism site, I have added it to my blog roll. Looking forward to more post!

  2. Thanks for the comment. I am new to blogging so I don't know if I am even doing what should be done to grow my blog. But, prayerfully even if there are only a few readers - they can find encouragement, edification, and a compelling to be what God desires us to be.
