Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. Nobody comes to God the Father except through His approval on the day of judgment, when each soul will stand before Jesus Christ/God and give a full account of how they uses their opportunities and talents in this temporary world. The death of Jesus on the cross DID NOT reserve a spot in heaven for every sinner that has not followed after the direction Jesus gave on how to be saved and with God forever. Salvation comes by a willing obedience (Lordship of Jesus Christ over ones life as God is the creator to it) to respect every soul that God has created and live an earthly life that is reflective of the universal love for God and His will for humanity. In every generation there are the lost souls who say they will be saved, who want nothing to do with obeying Jesus Christs mandates to love your fellow man in an unbiased and unconditional way. So many say that we cant possibly love our fellow man unconditionally, but then they demand that others love them unconditionally or else they will harm those who dont do so. I shrug my shoulders and shake my head when I see people living by their personal egos, as if they were elected to be treated like kings, all the while they mistreat others as if they are cattle or sheep. No, the ONLY way to salvation is mentioned throughout the Bible with a consistent principle, you must show God that you love Him and your fellow human beings in the appropriate fashion to even qualify for the kingdom of heaven. You must prove to God that you are willing to live a life loving Him and your fellow man without exceptions to your love. Paul converted and became a Christian, he did not keep his old self and way of living where he was persecuting and oppressing many people for his own worldly gains. The Christian churches in our time need to be challenged for the nonsense the pastors have been preaching over the last 50 plus years, as what they have been preaching is not the Christian gospel that Jesus taught and lived out by His personal examples. And at no time did Jesus say that because of His death all sinners have a spot reserved for them in the kingdom of heaven. https://biblegateway/passage/?search=John+14&version=NIV
