One Way
Christians are often vilified and persecuted for their belief that there is only one way to heaven through Jesus Christ.
Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life: no one comes to the Father except by Me” (John 14:6).
There is only one God and there has always been “One Way” – His way as He has outlined in the Holy Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation.
I believe that Jesus is the only way to salvation because I do not believe that the Son of God is a liar when He declares that no one can come to the Father except through Him. I also believe Him because I have studied the Bible, read the prophecies and examined the evidence that leads us to the Truth.
Jesus tells a parable about a man who is invited to a wedding feast. The King who has invited him asks, “Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?” The man is speechless. Then the King commands that the man be bound hand and foot and cast out into outer darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth (Matthew 22:11-13).
Do you know what Jesus is talking about in this parable? To be cast out of the Lord’s presence is a horrendous experience, to spend eternity in hell without Him is beyond comprehension.
If you are truly seeking what pertains to eternal life and would like to know the reason why Jesus is the only door we can enter to be saved, then let me share with you what everyone needs to know to be able to answer the Lord when He asks you, “Where is your wedding garment?”
In the ancient world the Jews were the only race of people who recognized that there is only one God. All other nations at that time were polytheistic; believers in more than one God. God chose the Jews for the purpose of using them to be the womb through which He would birth the Messiah, the Savior of the world.
Why do we need a Savior in the first place? you might ask.
