The Lord Jesus Christ wanted us to make a positive contribution to His creation. Our ego should be buried in Him; He alone has the power to heal fallen creation.
Mankind, part of that fallen creation, wallowing in his sin filled ego, thinks up a religion. He knows his fallen state, his sin. He looks and sees so many religions, all parallel, all man made. He is confused by these parallel religions none of which meet his need. So, perhaps, he turns to one to ‘become a drop of water in the ocean’.The leadership of our church, part of that fallen creation, says, ‘there are many ways to Heaven’.
The Holy Spirit, sent by Jesus Christ after his ascension, comes to those who humbly trust Jesus to forgive their sins and through Johns writings tells us the words of Jesus. Jesus says (emphatically) I am the way and the truth and the life; no one comes to the father except through me (John 14 v 6). Note well, ‘I’ & ‘the’ emphatically singular. There are many spirits but only God’s Holy Spirit can lead us to be reconciled, healed, forgiven, through Jesus death on the Cross.
