Do All Roads Lead to God?Shembull

The Bible honors the Lord Jesus by explaining that, “There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to the world’s population by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). Ultimately, when this essential truth is understood, the adherents of universalism arrive at an unexpected conclusion. They are intellectually forced to face making a spiritual decision! For them, this is a major point of contention – because if they want God’s salvation, they understand that everything depends on one single – “all encompassing” commitment! Since universalists are typically literate, they often find the Lord Jesus’ teachings and character to be highly admirable. They also intellectually comprehend that He said, “I am the way” not “ a way,” so they actively seek to avoid His authority. This is actually why they are non-trinitarian and fearfully deny His clearly revealed divinity! It would be wise for all universalists to thoughtfully consider the Lord’s concerned warning, “Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell” (Matthew 10:28). This truth about judgement must be acknowledged and can never be denied (see Hebrews 9:27).
