In ancient pagan societies people commonly selected one favored deity from a larger pantheon for special devotion, yet the question of which god a person worshiped remained straightforward. In contrast, modern Christian culture assumes that all who claim to worship God or Jesus ultimately reach the same destination despite doctrinal differences. This inclusive view is presented as pleasant but contrary to biblical teaching. Many who profess Christianity actually worship a version of Jesus unlike the one revealed in Scripture. Some regard Him as a created angel chosen to become the Son of God, while others focus devotion on an infant or on a lifeless body on a cross. Still others acknowledge a risen Christ seated at the Father's right hand yet reject the message He preached throughout His ministry, supposing that merely professing His name will suffice for salvation. Numerous denominations and sects present their own distinct portrayals of Jesus, producing many conflicting images that resemble one another only superficially. The true Christ of the Bible kept every aspect of God's law, including the seventh-day Sabbath and annual holy days, was circumcised according to the law, attended synagogue each Sabbath, taught from the Old Testament, and lived as a physically strong man who enforced righteousness with authority. He provided this example so that His followers would know precisely whom they are to emulate. Without recognizing and obeying this biblical Christ, any claim to worship Him remains empty.
