Bill was a high school boy who had a part-time job in an auto-repair shop. He was a good worker and a serious, thoughtful boy, but he was not saved. The man he worked for knew and loved the Lord Jesus. He often spoke to others about the salvation of their souls. One day Bill’s boss explained to him the way of salvation. He explained that “All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:2323For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (Romans 3:23). He told Bill how God sent His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, into the world to die for sinners. He told him that everything has already been done for us; salvation is free for the taking, although it cost the Lord Jesus so much.
After Bill had listened carefully and thoughtfully to that wonderful story, he asked, “Isn’t there any other way?”
Bill’s boss had to tell him, “No, according to God’s Word, the Bible, there is no other way.”
Why did he want another way? Perhaps it was pride that made him want to do something for his own salvation. God has opened the door to heaven for you. Don’t look for another way. His way is the best.
