God is knowledge, and there is nothing known that is not known of God. He is the Author of knowledge past, knowledge present, and knowledge future. Therefore there is nothing---absolutely nothing!---that Almighty God does not know.
Who am I, then, to question the Almighty when He knows all things from everlasting to everlasting? For it is God who set all things in motion, not me. For it is God who created the world for His purpose, not by me for my purpose.
So then, what is my life in comparison to Christ? Without Him, I am nothing; for without His creation of me, my life would have never been. And if Christ had not come into this world to die for sin, no person on earth would have any hope of life after death in God's heaven.
Because God spared not His only begotten Son for the sins of the world, death becomes a prison for those who reject Him, from which there is no escape---neither while living in this world, nor even while living again after death.
Therefore, should we dare look into the eyes of Almighty God and tell Him we found another way to get to heaven, a way that trespasses the way that He has provided to us by His only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ? For I, being carnal, could not die for my own sin, and neither would my death for my own sin be pleasing to God, for I am a sinner; for then I would believe that I could get to heaven my own way instead of the way of the cross of Christ: at which time I would tell others that they can do it their own way, too.
Religion, on the other hand, came along from the imaginations of men with the desire that people can get to heaven another way: by going through the system of religion instead going through Christ. And thus, because religion is built like an educational system, people are led to believe that they must complete the course of studies before they can graduate to heaven: that the Dean of the Institute of Religion must hand them their diplomas when they pass their final exams.
For people of religion will not tell you about Christ, for they can only tell you what they know, and what they know is the knowledge of religion, and not the knowledge of Christ. To them, Christ remains a stranger: for they have never met Him; therefore they do not know Him. And because of deception that reigns in their minds, they believe they will enter heaven because their religion has made them equal with Christ---and they have their diplomas to prove it!
Above all else, please know today that God is interested in YOU. The Lord is not interested in whether you are a Baptist, or a Methodist, or a Catholic, or a Hindu, or an Agnostic, or any other denominational title or religious name. The Lord God Almighty is interested in you as a person because the Lord is interested in your soul.
Not only is God interested in you, He also knows your name and your DNA. And He loves you with a love that surpasses all human understanding.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (John 3: 16-17)
And God's desire is that we will only trust Him.
