It’s interesting to me that we start out with a way (Jesus) and end up with ways. Isn’t that the “way” they believe though? They believe there are many ways to heaven.
Cain had that problem. Cain substituted reason for revelation, beauty for blood, trying for trusting, and feeling for fact. But in the end he ended, not with salvation, but sorrow.
“There is a difference between your religion and mine," said a Christian to his neighbor. “Indeed!” was the reply. “What is that?” “It is this: Yours has only two letters in it, while mine has four.” “What do you mean?” said he. “Well, yours has ‘DO.’ Mine has ‘DONE.’”
It seems there was a pretzel stand out front of an office building in New York. One day, a man came out of the building, plunked down a quarter, and then went on his way without taking a pretzel. This happened every day for three weeks. Finally, the old lady running the stand spoke up: “Sir, excuse me. May I have a word with you?”
The fellow said: “I know what you’re going to say. You’re going to ask me why I give you a quarter every day and don’t take a pretzel.”
And the woman said, “Not at all, I just want to tell you that the price is now 35 cents.”
So it is with religion when it comes to being born again. You can never do enough. Just when you think you’ve earned it, Satan raises the price.
What to do:
✞You can go the way of Jesus which is life, or the way of religion which is death. The choice is yours.
