Only One Way

JESUS CHRIST IS GOD’S ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN

Jesus Christ of History and of the New Testament said in the
Gospel written by the Apostle John and quoting:

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

This statement of the LORD is “All Exclusive,” meaning it is a declaration,
a proclamation, a statement that bars, eliminates, excludes all other statements and teachings (whether religious or otherwise) that teaches another way to heaven.

The implication is that there is no other way, plan, scheme, or means whereby man can be assured of going to heaven after death, apart from the LORD Jesus Christ.

This is also the declaration of Luke the writer of the Acts of the Apostles.
Acts 4:12
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Therefore we can and must, when opportunity presents itself, with boldness categorically declare, proclaim and say that all other ways or schemes taught and perpetuated by religion, philosophy even by so-called theologians that are contrary to Christs’ statement and teaching, are deemed false and must not be accepted, acknowledged or embraced. To accept, acknowledge, or embrace such endanger man’s eternal destiny.

The Apostle Paul in one of the thirteen books of the New Testament he wrote
denounced, exposed the danger of receiving and believing “Another Gospel” (way)
other than the Pure Gospel of our LORD Jesus Christ.

Galatians 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

He calls it a “perverted gospel” meaning corrupt, debased, distorted, evil & wicked and will damn men straight to hell (Hebrews 9:27).

The Holy Bible speaks only of one of two destinations: heaven or hell.

God’s desire is for man to spend eternity with Him in heaven.
Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

The above scriptures tell of the broad and narrow way. See Isaiah 14:9; Matt. 25:41; Rev. 20:10; 21:8.

Man being a free moral agent with the ability and power to choose, has the choice as to where he wants to spend eternity: heaven or hell.

This Truth being Absolute is non-negotiable and must be preached, proclaimed and taught without apologies by those who are authentic, genuine, true believers in the LORD Jesus Christ!
