How hard is it to be saved, or should the question really be how easy is it?
Consider the Islamic terrorist believes he or she will be rewarded by God for their acts of destruction. Consider Christians believe many people will be going to hell, that they need Salvation. Consider the Jewish people believe they are God's chosen people to inherit a Messianic Kingdom when their Messiah comes. Consider so many of the other religious people in our world believe in a God Creator that has made all known reality by It's Sovereign power. Can it really be possible for any agreement? Can it really be possible to be saved?
Consider so many different types of governments exist at work on the Earth, each with its own legal codes. Consider cities, territories, and even countries have their own bodies of law too. Even many religious bodies have their own Holy laws as well. Some organizations hold their membership to sworn secrecy and other rules. How can anyone determine by this evidence what is right to do or not to do? What is truly good, and what is really bad?
Consider the variety of educations one can be recipient of in this modern era of enlightened thought. One can specialized in Economics and know how the wealth is really distributed and why. On can specialize in History and learn its lessons before you have to learn them from your own experiences. One can study Languages and become able to communicate with more people than existed just a few thousand years ago. One can study Law or Religions, specialize oneself therein and know how these have evolved over time and how they have interacted from the available perspectives.
What can we know about our fate though? What can we know of our length of days? Can we determine whether the dead do or do not rise? Can we know whether we are created or just a cosmic size accident? Can we learn how to love in time so we can at least say with that perspectives true conviction -
"It is not hard to be saved by a loving God, just do no harm and why would he treat you with any less gentleness? If you cannot be sure something you have done was harmless, just allow this loving God to clean up any mess, put back together anything damaged, heal anything hurt, or resurrect anything you think dead from your own or someone you love's actions. Can you see a God who loves you will do all that so you may be saved by Him for the life He has created for all His family..."
Can I get an Amen?
