Recently a well known Christian pastor died; John MacArthur was 86, and he was ten days older than me, He fulfilled his life calling. His father and grandfather were pastors. John was a pastor in Grace Community Church for fifty five years. He knew what he believed and preached from the Bible that God has made a way for us in heaven through his son Jesus Christ.
People may say that there are many roads to heaven. They may virtue signal that they are for all religions. Actually this is only confusion. Most people think that they are good people and will go to heaven on their own merits. We may compare ourselves to others but no one can compare to a righteous God.
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (Rom 3:23)
All have sinned, all come short of being accepted by God. knowing that no human could ever meet his standards he sent his son Jesus who fulfilled all the law and was without sin. He died on the cross as our substitute. By believing in him our sins were paid for. He was risen from the dead and became our way to eternal life with God. We will not be cut off and separated from God.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)
