JESUS: The only way to salvation!

“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.” (Acts 4:12 ESV)

No one comes to the Father except through Jesus!

“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6 NIV)

Jesus claimed to be God in the flesh

“I and the Father are one.” (John 10:30 NASB)

“He who has seen Me has seen the Father…” (John 14:9b NASB)

We have to judge his statements about himself as either true or false

The great British writer, C. S. Lewis, explained in his well-known book, Mere Christianity, "A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher; he'd either be a lunatic -- on a level with a man who says he's a poached egg -- or else he'd be the devil of hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God; or else a madman or something worse."

"You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come up with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to."

“So Jesus was either a madman, a liar, a myth, or He really was -- and is -- the Son of God.”

The apostle Paul said that salvation is available only through the sacrifice that Jesus Christ made when he carried the sins of the world on the cross.

“For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.” (2 Cor. 5:21, NLT)
