Presentation transcript:

The Inclusive Nature of Christianity – “God so loved the world…” Christ died for everyone (John 3:16; Hebrews 2:9; 1 John 2:2) God desires all men to be saved (1 Timothy 2:4-6; 2 Peter 3:9) “Whosever will” may be saved (John 3:16; Revelation 22:17)

The Exclusive Nature of Christianity There is One God (Isaiah 45:5-6) One Lawgiver (James 4:12) One Savior (Acts 4:12) One way to get into the body of the saved (1 Corinthians 12:13) The saved have exclusive benefits & duties Access to Christ’s sacrifice (Hebrews 13:10) Status as God’s special people (Titus 2:14) An exclusive moral standard (Romans 12:2; 2 Cor. 6:17; 1 Peter 4:1-5; Ephesians 4 & 5)

Heaven is an Exclusive Place! Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. (Matthew 7:13-14) But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life. (Revelation 21:27)
