Running To Win

Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer

God Saves Followers of Other Religions, Part 3 of 4

February 23, 2012
In Bible times, all roads led to Rome. Some feel that all spiritual roads lead to heaven, even those that never intersect. Pause to consider the claim of Christ that He is the only way to God. Some say “this is unfair…anyone who is sincere in their belief deserves a shot at heaven.” Today we will look at fairness — from God’s point of view.

Living With Your Passions
In a hyper-sexualized culture, sex is either reduced to pleasure-seeking or conflated with our identity. But God designed us as sexual beings for emotional and spiritual intimacy whose highest calling is to worship Him. In this revised edition, Pastor Erwin Lutzer draws on forty years of ministry experience to present a rationale for sexual purity. He gives an honest answer to the sexual pressures we face like extramarital relationships, self-gratification, same-sex attraction, and more. As desire-driven creatures, we don't have to pursue happiness at the expense of character. With our identity grounded in Christ, we can live victoriously with our passions.

Does it make sense to say that all religions lead their followers to God? Well, it all depends on how you define “God”. The true God is the one found in the Bible, and He has revealed the only means by which we can approach Him. In fact, He has something to say about any religion that does not meet His standards. Get set for some straight talk.

Any marathon runner will tell you that there is only one goal line and only one route that gets you to that line as the winner. Even taking a shortcut, while believeing it’s the correct way, will not get you a medal. Since rules are rules, you have to follow the track in order to win. Today we are going to explore a tough subject. The trip will not be easy, but we invite you along for the journey.

When we realize that God does not think like we do, we can begin to see Him as He is — the God Who is in control. In the race of life, we must leave behind our preconceptions and allow our thinking to be transormed by God’s revelation of Himself in the Bible. That revelation is all we need for this life and the life to come. Today: some final thoughts on how God thinks.

There are just two ways to approach an understanding of God: from the bottom up, or from the top down. Only one way works. Either you accept His written revelation, or you invent your own idols, because we all worship something. Today: more on coming to grips with the true God, and on coming to grips with the way He thinks.

The mind of man is very inventive when the true God gets in the way. Want your own God? Well, you can have one! The idea is not new. Pagan tribes worship wooden carvings, while modern man worships his stock portfolio. Both practices are idolatry, which is the rejection of the true God. Today we will learn why God will not tolerate less than first place in our lives.

Modern humanity believes so strongly in its own intelligience that people invent their own gods. As you run today’s race of life, get ready for a paradigm shift. The Creator of the universe does not think like we do. He never has and He never will. This means that we need to get on His page, not the other way around.

Even those of us who live fast-paced lives should pause and ponder some mysteries. The suffering of God is one such mystery. In the wake of the terrible tsunami in Asia, we all struggle with the concept of human suffering. Today, we will try to understand the suffering of God, and why it brings meaning to our suffering as humans.

Some theologians hold that God is without passion, that He has no feelings and therefore, cannot personally suffer. While these theologians theorize, let us see what the Bible says, and find evidence that God indeed can suffer, and has suffered, and what all of that means to you and me. The implications are profound.

All of us are in a race to go somewhere or do something. Before you do, spend time to think some deep thoughts about God. Pause to ponder perhaps the deepest mystery of all. This profound mystery is the question of how God was affected by the sacrifice of His own Son. Was He passive or did He weep?

Many Christians say they love God, but how many say they fear Him? They have lost the sense of God’s righteous justice. As a result, they live as they like, claiming that Jesus will forgive whatever they do. After all, what is grace for? Get set for some powerful words to those who take sin lightly.
