The Ultimate Claim
Jesus is the only way to God. What a claim! This is either the most outrageous, arrogant, narrow-minded claim a person can make...or it is true. The Bible constantly asserts that this claim is true.
In Acts 4:12, Peter declares: “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” Peter is not beating about the bush here. He is making a statement that is either true or it is not.
There is no half-way position on Jesus. It’s a black-and-white issue, with no grays in between.
Paul too makes the same claim in 1 Timothy 2:5:
“For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”
Rephrased, Paul is saying: “There is one God and only one way to God – Jesus.” Yet as outrageous as this claim may seem, Paul is merely echoing Christ’s own words, who in John 14:6 declared: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
This is the foundation upon which the Christian message is built. If this declaration is false, then the whole of Christianity tumbles like a house of cards. For the claims of Christ to be the sole path to God cannot be explained away or watered down. They must be either accepted or rejected.
