One God


May God bless you and give you what you need most today! Please, read this and pray to Jesus to receive the blessing of God. Most religions teach-
 “ There is one God and different  religions of the world follow different path but will reach the same place”.
Yes, every body will go to God. Jesus Christ also says “All the nations will be gathered before Him” (Matthew 25:32). But,  for ‘Judgement!’ and not necessarily to live with God.
Study this :-
 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fireprepared for the devil and his angels.For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life. ” Matthew 25:31-46)
Friends, you believe in God, one God. You are Christian and believe in one God. Every one,except atheist believe in one supreme God and even those who believe and worship many gods and goddesses believes in one God.
You know ‘Christian’ means ‘Believer, follower of Jesus Christ!  ‘Christian’ doesnot mean ‘believers and followers of one God?
What does ‘one’ means here for you? Will you change your ‘Christian’ to believer of ‘one God’, without knowing the exact meaning of the ‘one’ here? There may be many ‘one god’ . Different ‘one God’ teach be different religion.
Jesus says in Gospel John 14  “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.”

Jesus the Way to the Father

Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know[b] my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”
Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves. 12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.” (John 14 :1-14 NIV)
Friend, I hope you understand what Jesus is telling us. Ask Jesus in prayer if you don’t know. Be like Philips here, be frank. Don’t do acting as if you know. Prefer to be frank like Philip and ask Jesus in prayer by admitting that you still don’t know  what Jesus is teaching us. He will give you understanding. And if you understand, thank God in prayer.
Write ‘Amen’ if you pray. May Jesus Christ be in you always.
