The late Elvis Presley was known for wearing three different religious symbols at all times: A Christian cross... a Star of David... and a Hebrew Letter “Chi”. When asked why, he commonly replied, “I don’t want to miss out on heaven due to a technicality.”
Many treat their faith the same way. They want to cover their bases... believe a little of this... wear some of that... take this part of belief “A” and pair it with a section of religion “B”... It simply doesn’t work that way. John 14:6 tells us “Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” This statement leaves no doubt. No technicalities... no loopholes... no workarounds. If we want to spend eternity in Heaven with God... we need to believe in and have a relationship with His Son. While we may be tempted to create our own path... we have to remember that our spiritual walk is not a buffet where we pick and choose... it is a faith in the One who loves us enough to show us the correct road for our journey back home.
