(Acts 15:5-12) Everybody gets saved the same way. The situations and circumstances may vary, but salvation comes only one way! Listen today to hear the truth about salvation. (07149230623)  Life is a short trip to somewhere forever! How will you make the trip? We live in a mobile society and it seems that everyone is in a hurry to get where they are going! Life itself is a journey and all of us are headed somewhere forever. An all-wise God has designed it so that those who follow His way can enjoy Heaven someday and also enjoy the journey today. The Bible, God’s Word to man, is the roadmap for time and eternity. Begin by determining your destination. Every journey begins by settling where you are going. Without direction we all just wander aimlessly through life, searching for meaning and purpose. Thousands of years ago a prophet named Isaiah wrote, “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all” (Isaiah 53:6). Some things never change! “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 6:23). On our own we all go away from God. This is why Jesus Christ came: to take our sin and give us His salvation. Only He can return us to the path we were created to walk and bring us to God. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6). Jesus Christ died for our sins, rose from the dead to offer us eternal life, and stands ready now to forgive our sins. But each of us must choose for ourselves if we will follow our way or His. When Jesus was on earth He said, “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it” (Matthew 7:13-14). There are only two destinations: eternity in Heaven with God or separated from God forever in Hell. All roads cannot lead to the same place. Our way leads us from God; Christ’s way leads us to God. If you continue on the path you are on now, where will you spend eternity? You must determine your destination. Discover the companionship of Christ. The journey is always better with a companion. Someone with whom we share both the joys and trials of the trip. This is why Jesus Christ came to this earth. He traveled this same road for thirty-three years. The Son of God is not a person far away who, “cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin” (Hebrews 4:15). He knows where you are and what you are facing! Even more, He wants to make the journey with you right now. This personal relationship begins at the moment that you place your faith in Him and call on Him to be your Savior. “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved” (Romans 10:9). When a person comes to know Christ two things are made sure: they will live with Christ forever in Heaven, and Christ comes to live in their heart now! In one of the most famous psalms, Psalm 23, David explains it this way, “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.” To follow Christ is to have Him make the journey with you–never alone! In some of His last words to the first disciples, He said, “…I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen” (Matthew 28:20). There will be difficulties along the way, but He will guard us and guide us at every step. Know what to do at important intersections. Intersections are turning points. At each of them, there is a decision to be made. Life is full of decisions, but the most important ones are the ones that affect eternity. Today you are standing at one of those crossroads. You will either choose to follow Christ or to c
