CAUTION - RELIGION CAN BE DANGEROUS!

The law requires poison bottles to be clearly labeled as such in order to

prevent accidental deaths. Unfortunately no such law exists to protect the

unsuspecting in the matter of religion. There are countless deadly religions

and millions perish spiritually because of them. No wonder so many are lost!

With each religion claiming to be the true one, how are people to know the

real way to God amidst such a bewildering situation?

There is a way to know, and perhaps you'll be surprised to learn that there is

a test which will identify the true way to God. The religions of the world ask

men to believe something, whereas the Bible asks men to receive Someone: "...

as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God" (the

Bible, John 1:12).

Receiving a person is not the same thing as accepting religious doctrines.

This then is the test - receiving Christ. One can believe all the things that

he wants to, but that's not the same as receiving a person.

Perhaps you are one who is religious. Does your religion include a personal

encounter with Jesus Christ? If not, you are in danger. Why, even Christianity

is dangerous as a religion if all one has is Bible doctrine and not Christ

personally.

The Easter season testifies that the Christ of the Bible is a risen, living

Person. He who said, "I am the Life," lives; and right this minute knocks at

the door of men's hearts. Hear His offer of Himself: "Behold, I stand at the

door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will Come

in..." (Revelation 3:20).

That door, dear friend, is the door of your heart. Either the Bible lies or

Christ is waiting to come into your heart this moment. There's only one way to

find out, only one true test. Religious claims cannot be taken into a

chemistry or physics laboratory for testing and certification: they have to be

taken into the laboratory of personal experience, They are lived, not merely

analyzed.

How often you have said "Come in" to your neighbor's knock at the front door?

Won't you respond to Jesus' knock at your heart's door? He awaits your

invitation. Just bow your head where you are and say to Him: "Dear Lord, I

open the door of my heart right now. I ask You to come in. I want to know You

as my personal Saviour. Amen."

Can you do that? If you will, then God will do the rest. With this one simple

act you will be saved from the death of religious poisoning. Why perish when

God loves you so and has provided this way of genuine salvation? Millions have

found the sweetness of God's forgiveness through this prayer of the open

heart. Do it now, dear friend; it is the greatest opportunity of your life!
