Truth be told, it is a great lie for us to believe and accept that all religions and belief systems have the same God but different ways of worship.
We have all fallen for this cliche for far too long, denying us the opportunity to approach matters of salvation from the proper perspective.
Setting the record straight is of great importance and benefit to humanity. We must not be deceived by the prince of this world, the devil, lest we lose focus on our evangelical and unleashed agenda of winning the world back to God.
If one denies the only true way to God, Jesus Christ, then you are worshiping another alien and foreign god and not the Almighty God who created the world who you proclaim all religion and men worship.
In 1 John 2: 23 the bible says, “No one who denies the son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also”. The central theme here is the ‘way’ before the ‘Father’ and not the ‘Father’ before the ‘way’. Meaning your confession of who you believe to be the way to God is the evidence of who your god is or the kind of father you claim to have as a god, and not your god before the way.
Your denial of the son Christ Jesus as the only way to God disqualifies you from claiming to know God and renders you and your belief system ‘liars’ – 1 John 2 v 22
We don’t need to know your god to believe you are safe, your confession of your way of worship and by extension, your medium of worship is enough to tell who your God is and your status of salvation. If you do not acknowledge Christ Jesus as the only way to God then I will humbly disappoint you by letting you know we do not have the same God, therefore you are not saved.
The rationale behind the old cliche statement that we all have the same God is to embrace unity in diversity and to encourage harmonious living among all, yes but that should not be an avenue to twist the truth concerning the way to salvation. The fact is we are all one as a people, clothed with flesh, blood, and oxygen functioning as humans but separated on the grounds of belief systems that need to be amended by bringing all to the only path of salvation. Any other way apart from Christ Jesus is a sinking sand. It has no future or hope.
I conclude by encouraging all believers in Christ Jesus to fulfill the great commission agenda of revealing Christ as the only medium unto salvation and a prove that you have God Almighty as your Father and no other foreign god.
In doing this let us be modest, decent, caring and ready to demonstrate love in all engagement knowing very well that it pleases God, that we leave in peace with all men -Roman 12 v 18. May the Holy Spirit work on us even us we preach the truth of Christ to this dying world.
God bless you all
