Questions Better than Indifference

I closed my last post with the question: who are you going to belief, Jesus Christ or the other guy?  Let me take it up a step and make it about God and our final destiny. There are more alternative options out there than I can count.  Aside from the different Christian denominations view of heaven and hell there are all the non-Christian religions and even political movements offering a secular utopian paradise. 

Secular utopianism promises a paradise that is not everlasting but will someday deliver a satisfying life that ends in annihilation.  So far, every attempt to reach this secular paradise has failed, but hey, maybe next time.  But really when it comes to your final destiny who are you going to believe?  I’ve already made up my mind, I’m going with Jesus Christ who not only returned from the dead but also holds to the high view of the Bible.  He claimed to be the eternal God who created everything and proved it by His resurrection from death. 

Jesus Christ stated His view of the Bible in Matthew 5:18 & 19: For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. 19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Jots and tittles are the little accent marks that appear next to the letters that make up words.  Basically, Jesus just said the original transcripts of the Bible are written exactly as God wanted them.  And there will be consequences for anyone who misrepresents His original intention. 

There are skeptics who have raised questions about the truth of Christ’s claims about the Bible.  Nothing wrong with being cautious of such claims when so much is riding on getting it right.  We are ultimately dealing with meaning of life and eternal destiny issues.  I’m more concerned about the number of people who are just indifferent to the matter and therefore ignore it.  At least the skeptic is interested enough to test the Scriptures to see if they’re true.  Who knows, it might result in them believing in Jesus Christ for everlasting life!

God would love to welcome them into heaven and spent eternity exploring the world to come.
