It is often said, and it is absolutely true: all roads lead to God. Whatever road you’re taking, you will live forever, and you will be with God forever. But only one road leads to salvation. And all the other roads lead to damnation. God will either justify you or judge you based on Jesus. For those that trust Jesus, eternity will be an endless experience of God’s love. For those who don’t, eternity will be an endless experience of God’s wrath.
In John 14:6, Jesus said he was the only way to salvation. In Acts 4:12, the Apostle Peter said there is salvation in no one else but Jesus. In 1 Timothy 2:5, the Apostle Paul said the only way to be reconciled to God is through Jesus. In 1 John 5:12, the Apostle John said whoever has Jesus has salvation, and whoever does not have Jesus does not have salvation.
So yes, all roads lead to God. But which road are you taking to get there? The Jesus Road, or the judgment road? The choice is yours.
