Therefore, be imitators of God, as dearly loved children.
Ephesians 5:1, HCSB
God is the only true way to eternal life, and we are called to imitate His sacrificial love, grace, compassion, and mercy with all people, seeking to glorify the name of God and make Christ known.
Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you your heart’s desires.
Psalm 37:4, HCSB
God is the only true way to eternal life, so we should want to make Him our greatest desire, to know Him and to make Him known.
Yahweh, You are my God; I will exalt You. I will praise Your name, for You have accomplished wonders, plans formed long ago, with perfect faithfulness.
Isaiah 25:1, HCSB
God us the only true way to eternal life, and He is found through the wonderful of Christ’s coming, death on a cross, and rising again, as was always planned for our salvation and His glory.
“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure, buried in a field, that a man found and reburied. Then in his joy he goes and sells everything he has and buys that field.”
Matthew 13:44, HCSB
Seeking God is the inky true way to eternal life, and that treasure of life is Christ. In Him alone are we at peace with God with hope for eternity.
When all has been heard, the conclusion of the matter is: fear God and keep His commands, because this is for all humanity.
Ecclesiastes 12:13, HCSB
Seeking God is the only way to eternal life, and following Christ in this life is truly that way.
Search for the Lord and for His strength; seek His face always.
1 Chronicles 16:11, HCSB
The only path to eternal life is Jesus, so may we seek Him and His ways of truth always.
Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
John 14:6, HCSB
Jesus is the only way to eternal life with God, the source and foundation of all truth, and the source of life. Believe in Jesus.
One evening in 2025, I was driving down a road in town that had recently gone through work expanding the road and adding a median. At one point there is a place for northbound cars to make a u-turn.
I was approaching this section of road heading south, and up ahead I saw someone get into the u-turn lane. He then proceeded north on my side of the road.
Needless to say, I stopped and flashed my lights, and he realized the problem and quickly turned around (in an awkward 4-point maneuver.)
It got me thinking about the Church, and it was controversy over the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show and it’s alternative from TPUSA as well as Jelly Roll’s Grammy acceptance speech that brought back to mind. Some question Jelly Roll’s and Kid Rock’s repentance and Christian faith.
We often teach how repentance is like a u-turn in our life, and there is good reason.
Acts 3:19, HCSB
Therefore repent and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped out, that seasons of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord
Proverbs 28:13, HCSB
The one who conceals his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them will find mercy.
How many fall into the “easy believism” of saying a simple prayer and never changing the way they live?
I don’t know what is going on in the hearts and souls of Kid Rock and Jelly Roll, and this is not really about them.
I am also not saying anything about anyone in particular. This a call for each of us to make sure that we have not made a false u-turn, that we said we believe in Jesus but never changed anything about the way we think or act.
2 Corinthians 13:5, HCSB
Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith. Examine yourselves. Or do you yourselves not recognize that Jesus Christ is in you? — unless you fail the test.
It would be like that car that used the u-turn lane but was then heading toward oncoming traffic, only we would get to the end of our life or see Christ return only to hear Him say He never knew us and we miss eternal life.
Matthew 25:44-46, HCSB
“Then they too will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or without clothes, or sick, or in prison, and not help You? ’ “Then He will answer them, ‘I assure you: Whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for Me either.’ “And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
So, don’t complain about what people claiming Christ may or may not be doing.
You might be with those going the right way, but you might be going the wrong way and endangering others.
There is no one holy like the Lord. There is no one besides You! And there is no rock like our God.
1 Samuel 2:2, HCSB
We need God for this life and the next, for He is the only God who is sovereign over all and faithful in all things. We can believe amd trust in Him, as shown through the cross.
Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God — God remains in him and he in God.
1 John 4:15, HCSB
We need God for this life and the next, and He comes into our lives when we confess Christ as our God and Savior.
