One of the consistent themes you'll find throughout the Bible is that God will always provide the necessary information about Jesus Christ to someone who sincerely desires to receive that revelation.
Nobody will be sent to hell for rejecting a gospel they've never heard.
I share five scriptural insights that lead me to the conclusion that those who are incapable of trusting in Christ on their own are still welcomed into heaven the same way you and I are welcomed into heaven: by the grace of God.
While love is one of God's attributes, it's not his only attribute. God is also holy and just.
The cross of Jesus Christ represents the intersection of God's love and God's holiness.
The willingness of God to sacrifice his Son to reconcile us to himself is a demonstration of his love for us.
Christianity alone teaches that our only way for reconciliation with God is by his grace that is received through faith.
Various religions offer a variety of theories about life, death, and eternity. And yet, as different as all religions are, they share one common characteristic: they teach that the way to be reconciled to God is through works and rituals.
"The way of Cain" says there are many paths that lead to God rather than one path.
We're in danger of losing an even more foundational belief of Christianity: that salvation is only possible through faith in Jesus Christ.
A recent Pew Study revealed that 70% of Americans with a religious affiliation say that many religions lead to eternal life. Some people might think that "surely the statistics among evangelical Christians is different." Not by much.
If the universalists are correct in saying that everyone is going to be in heaven regardless of what they believe, or the pluralists are correct that all religions lead to the same god, then the horrific death of Jesus Christ was completely unnecessary.
Abel's sacrifice was accepted by God because it was made according to God's instructions. Cain, however, tried to approach God in his own way and was rejected by God (Genesis 4:3-5). From that point on, Cain became a symbol of those who try to approach God on their own terms.
"The way of Cain" describes any religious system that attempts to earn God's favor by works and rituals rather than reliance on God's grace.
