I read an interesting article in the blogsphere today which asked the question: Do all religions lead to God? Really that is somewhat of a trick question. The writer said that the answer is actually yes, all religions will take you to God.
Listen to the words of John 14:6 where Jesus said: “I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
Other religions will bring you to God. Shintoism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam-they all eventually bring you to God. Mormonism, Christian Science, paganism, animism, and Roman Catholicism will bring you to God.
Every practitioner of every religion created by man and/or demon will, by that religion, be brought to God. But note carefully: none of those religions will bring us to God as Father! They will bring man to God as Judge.
They will bring men to stand before the Great White Throne Judgment clothed in the filthy rags of his own righteousness (Isaiah 64:6), without excuse, hopeless, guilty and damned eternally (Matthew 12:36; Acts 17:31; Romans 1:20, 32; 2:16; Revelation 20:11-15), falling continually and infinitely short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23).
The only way to God as Father is through the Lord Jesus Christ. Regenerated by His sovereign grace and declared righteous on the basis of His finished work on the cross.
All religions lead to God for damning judgment. Only through Christ can we come to God as Father.
