Proverbs 14:12
There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.
During the rise of testing for coronavirus, we've seen the peculiar issue of false positive results - it says you are infected when you're not! Conversely, there is also a false negative, which means you are infected, when the test says you're not!
In the verse above, the Bible states there is a "false positive" way that seems right, but in fact, it leads to death.
We can forge ahead, blindly ignoring God's truth our whole life. It may feel right and comfortable.
But it's a false positive!
Matthew 7:13-14 AMPC
Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads away to destruction, and many are those who are entering through it. [14] But the gate is narrow (contracted by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it.
"Blanket salvation", "all roads lead to God", are false positives propagated by the father of all lies, who is intent on keeping as many as possible on the "highway to Hell".
Jesus offended many with His assertion that "ONLY through Him" eternal life is found.
Yes, it's a narrow way, but it leads to eternal life!
John 10:27-28 AMPC
The sheep that are My own hear and are listening to My voice; and I know them, and they follow Me. [28] And I give them eternal life, and they shall never lose it or perish throughout the ages. [To all eternity they shall never by any means be destroyed.] And no one is able to snatch them out of My hand.
Don't be fooled by false positives - the only test that matters is: "Have you been to the cross of Jesus to be cleansed, are you trusting in Him and following His Way?
