Christ is the Only Way to God
! Just in case you missed it, there: !! From Jesus Himself... "{.yaesu-words}My Father has entrusted everything to me. No one truly knows the Son except the Father, and no one truly knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.{/}" Matthew 11:27 "Have you not read this Scripture: “ ‘The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; this was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”" Mark 12:10–11 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not obelieved in the name of the only Son of God." John 3:16–18 "For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will. The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, so that everyone will honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Anyone who does not honor the Son is certainly not honoring the Father who sent him." John 5:21-23 "This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it dand not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh." John 6:50–51 "So Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly." John 10:7-11 "The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day." John 12:48 "Jesus told him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the Life. No one can come to the Father except through Me.'" John 14:6 "Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades." Revelation 1:17-18 !! From the Apostles... "He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, the gave the right to become children of God." John 1:11–12 "There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved." Acts 4:12 "Yet God, with undeserved kindness, declares that we are righteous. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins." Romans 3:24 "There is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future. There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God and Father, who is over all and in all and living through all." Ephesians 4:4–6 "At the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Philippians 2:10-11 "When the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might, when he comes on that day to be glorified in his saints, and to be marveled at among all who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed." 2 Thessalonians 1:7–10 "There is only one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus. He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message God gave to the world at just the right time." I Timothy 2:5-6 "No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also." 1 John 2:23 "Whoever believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. Whoever does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne concerning his Son." 1 John 5:10-12 "Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son." 2 John 1:9 !!! Hebrews gets technical with it: "But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption. ... Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant." Hebrews 9:11–12 !! Rewind! From the Old Testament: "You shall have no other gods before me." Exodus 20:3 "I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him. And whoever will not listen to my words that he shall speak in my name, I myself will require it of him." Deuteronomy 18:18–19 (see Acts 7:35-37) (TODO: http://apps.webcreate.com/ecom/catalog/product_specific.cfm?ClientID=81&ProductID=29601 ) !! But how can this be? OK, given the above, you might be feeling confused or hurt by the way God's plan is so exclusive. First of all, Daniel Johnson makes a great point by comparing the cure for sin to the cure for cancer. Currently, we have no real cure for cancer. If we found one, no one would be sad that there is "only one way" to cure it. We would all just be happy that there was a cure. I have some more comments on this. Watch this location for more.
