The road to heaven is paved with good intentions. However, our good intentions are not enough. “Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.” (Mark 12:29). Everything about the Christian faith is one: “There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, […]

“Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.”Everything about the Christian faith is one: “There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all.”God hates the double-minded. He despises the double-tongued. The believer’s eyes must be single and focused. Accordingly, there can only be the same calling for every believer.

Paul says: “ foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover, whom He predestined, these He also called.”This indicates that the purpose that is purposed for those called by God is to be exactly like His Son Jesus so that Jesus might be the firstborn among many brethren.

“When they had called for the apostles and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus and let them go. So they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for His name.”The road to heaven is paved with good intentions. However, our good intentions are not enough. Our dilemma is that we want to go to heaven, we want to be like Jesus, but we do not want to suffer.

The Israelites wanted to go to the Promised Land. But when they discovered that to get there, God would suffer them to hunger and thirst and they would have to fight against giants, they opted to go back to Egypt.
