It's not relative!

"Jesus said to them, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through me.'" -John 14:6 (NASB)

"And He said to him, 'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.  This is the great and foremost commandment.'" -Matthew 22:36 (NASB)

"That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." -Romans 10:9 (NIV)
When traveling and navigating the physical world, we can use a map or GPS to follow one of many options for reaching our destination.  We can take the highway or avoid the highway.  We can find the shortest route, the quickest route, or the scenic route.  As we travel through the moral world around us, we are sometimes reassured by the world that we have the same number of options for reaching our final destination.  However, when traveling and navigating the moral world around us, we must be much more careful about the GPS that we are using!

The world may tell us that it is okay to ignore certain parts of the Bible or God's plan for us.  We are sometimes told that times have changed and our interpretation of the Bible must change as well.  We are told that if we are better than those around us, then we are on the right track.  The world wants the pathway to eternity to be based on relative goodness, not on God's absolutes.

When we read the Bible, we know that there is only one way to reach the final destination of forgiveness and everlasting life.  The ONLY way for us to spend eternity in Heaven is through Jesus.  Jesus tells us that He is the one way, the one truth, for being forgiven and reaching God.  Without an acknowledgement that Jesus died for our sins and that we are forgiven through His sacrifice, we cannot reach eternity in Heaven.


A GPS may give us the best route for navigating the physical world, but when dealing with issues of life and death the Bible should be the GPS that we rely on for helping us navigate the issues around us.  When we listen to God's word, we will know how to reach an eternity in Heaven!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for providing the Bible as a GPS for my life.  Help me to understand Your word and apply it appropriately in my life.  In Jesus' name, Amen.
