Our pluralistic society scarcely knows a greater offense than that of Christian exclusivism. To insist that Jesus is the only way of salvation and that faith in him is required for that salvation is viewed as intolerant. From their standpoint, the exclusivity assumes the existence of absolute truth, that it may be ascertained, and that it delegitim...
We begin in broad perspective—the rationale of Christianity itself, its purpose and meaning. In Romans 1, the apostle Paul famously affirms that every person possesses some knowledge of God—a knowledge of God that entails both an awareness of him (sensus deitatis) and a sense of obligation to him (semen religionis) (Rom 1:18–21). Moreover, as a res...
This teaching of the uniqueness of Christ traces back to the explicit claims of Jesus himself. 1. In Matthew 11:25–27, he insists that as the divine Son he has exclusive saving prerogative: “no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.” 2. In John 14:6, he both asserts that he is the only way to God and s...
Some have argued, then, that although salvation is only by Christ, some may be saved who have never heard of him and, therefore, have never believed. But once again, Christians have historically affirmed that apart from faith in Christ salvation is impossible. And once again this reflects the teaching of our Lord himself and his apostles. 1. In Joh...
Gospel Warnings Several New Testament passages give sobering warning that apart from faith in Christ (and repentance, the accompaniment of faith), there is only condemnation. 1. In Luke 13:3–5, Jesus insists twice that “unless you repent you will all likewise perish.” 2. In John 3:18, as we have seen, our Lord says that those who do not believe are...
Is it arrogant to be exclusive? We respond, first, by acknowledging that some have been arrogant in this teaching. This is embarrassing, but the question remains: Is it truethat Jesus is the only savior? If it is true that Jesus is the only one qualified to answer for our sins, then we dare not abandon that conviction for fear of giving offense. An...
Let us see all this in largest perspective: God has purposed to reclaim the world for himself (Gen 12:3). To this end, he sent his Son to be the Savior (John 3:16; 10:16) by satisfying the demands of God against us (Rom 3:21–26). And to this end, he sent the apostles and future disciples into the world with the gospel (John 17:20; Matt 28:18–20) so...
One reason Christians believe Jesus is the only way of salvation is because this is what Jesus claimed about Himself. He declared, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). Why did He make such a startling claim? Was it out of pride or ego?
Jan 4, 2022 · Yes, Jesus is the only way to heaven. Such an exclusive statement may confuse, surprise, or even offend, but it is true nonetheless. The Bible teaches that there is no other way to salvation than through Jesus Christ.
Mar 5, 2009 · Not only did Jesus himself believe that he was the only way to God, being one with God the Father, the early followers and apostles believed the same. Peter, in one of his early sermons said, “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name given under heaven by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).
Apr 15, 2013 · Here’s the question: Pastor John, is Jesus the only way to be saved? Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). Jesus himself is saying there isn’t any other pathway to the Father except through me.
Jesus clearly said that He is the only way to salvation and reconciliation with God. In (John 14:6 ESV) He said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” on another occasion Jesus said, “Unless you believe that I Am who I claim to be, you will die in your sins,” (John 8:24 NLT).
