You go your way and I'll go my way...

There is only one way!
The Lord Himself could say  "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me." (John 14:6)

There's no arguing with that. There is no other way.

From the moment we are born we all go our own way. "All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way;" (Isaiah 53: 6)

Is Salvation free?

This question is somewhat ironic! In short, the simple answer is most definitely "Yes"!

Salvation is a free gift from God Himself in that the poor sinner can give nothing in exchange for it.
"Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price." (Isaiah 55:1)


"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23)


"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8,9)

If the Lord comes, then I'll get saved

This is a totally precarious stance to take on 2 counts.

1. None of us know how long we will be here. The cemetaries are full of bodies of all ages. You could die in your sins and then all hope will be lost forever.
2. The Lord could return at anytime. His coming will be unannounced and will occur in the twinkling of an eye. In a moment those who are saved will be gone, to forever be with the Lord and you, if unsaved, will be left behind for judgement.

For those who think that if the Lord comes before they die, then they'll believe...
