Today people think they can find God–and salvation–any number of ways. One God, many paths, they say. You just have to find the right one for you. Yet those are all roads that go nowhere near heaven. Worse, they lead straight to hell. The question for you is, what path are you on—what road are you traveling? Do you really know God, and does He know you? There are no more important issues you can resolve than the nature of your relationship with God and the truth about your eternal destiny. In The Road to Nowhere, John MacArthur offers a three-point test to help you honestly evaluate your standing before God. Gain confidence in your relationship with the Lord as you discover the distinctive qualities that are part of every believer’s life—and most important, learn how to steer clear of the road that leads nowhere.
