Jesus Is The Only Way To Heaven

Jesus is the only way to heaven, yes the only way.  Exclusive truth claims like this are not popular in our modern culture.  In fact claiming that there is only one way to heaven is down right offensive.  But we cannot go by our own opinions or by what makes us feel good.  Since God is God he is the ultimate authority.  So we must look to him for the answers.  God has revealed himself to us in the Bible.  So we look to the Word of God to find the truth.  

(John 14:6) "Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through me." (ESV) 

We must notice that Jesus says I am the way, not a way.  We can only come to the Father through Jesus, all other ways lead to hell.  All roads do not lead to heaven.  

(Acts 4:12) "And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." (ESV) 

Salvation is found in Christ alone.  All other names such as Muhammad, Buddha, and Joseph Smith lead to hell.  Christianity is true therefore all other religions are false. 

(Romans 3:10) "as it is written:  None is righteous, no, not one;"  (ESV)

(Romans 3:23) "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."  (ESV) 

Many think that they will go to heaven because they are good people but this is not true.  As we can see there is no one who is righteous.  We are all sinners and even when we do good things they are not done for the glory of God.  

(Hebrews 9:27) "And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment,"  (ESV) 

We die and then comes judgment.  It is final, we will either go to heaven or hell for eternity.  All people will not eventually go to heaven.  

(Matthew 7:13-14) "Enter by the narrow gate.  For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many.  For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few."  (ESV) 

The majority of people are not going to heaven.  Salvation is found only in Jesus and this is the narrow way.  The wide gate includes all the other paths that people choose.  

(John 3:16) "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." (ESV)   

We can go to heaven, this is the good news.  God sent Jesus his only, unique Son to save his people from their sins.  All who repent of theirs sins and believe in Christ alone for salvation have eternal life.
