The Bible is clear that Jesus is the only way to God, but that way is a holy, obedient way, not merely a belief or profession of faith. While most all professing Christians can agree on and accept the fact that Jesus forgives past sins, the real issue—and the great dividing line—is how a person deals with present, ongoing sin. It is our present sin over which theologians put a fork in the road. Scripture makes clear that those who are truly born again do not live in habitual, continual sin, because Christ came to destroy the works of the devil and to change lives now, not just someday in the by-and-by. Salvation is not just forgiveness of past sins, but a new life marked by repentance, obedience, and righteousness. True faith produces a changed heart and a changed direction.
