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

Such an exclusive statement made by Jesus may confuse, surprise, or even offend, but it is still true, nonetheless. The Bible teaches that there is no other way to salvation than through Jesus Christ!

Jesus said

Jesus spoke of Himself as the only way to heaven in several places besides John 14:6, at top. He presented Himself as the object of faith in Matthew 7:21–27. He said His words are life (John 6:63). He promised that those who believe in Him will have eternal life (John 3:14–15). He is the gate of the sheep (John 10:7); he is the door to salvation (John 10:9); the bread of life (John 6:35); and the resurrection (John 11:25). No one else can rightly claim those titles.

There is no other way!

“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)

Therefore

“I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. Through him everyone who believes is set free from every sin.” (Acts 13:38–39) 

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.” (Rev. 3:20 ESV)

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” (Matt. 7:7)
