What does the Bible say about Jesus is the only way?
Jesus made it clear that He is the only way to the Father, accomplished through His death on the cross for our sake and His resurrection, which defeated sin and death. To escape God’s judgment, God Himself had to come as a man and do what humanity could not. Jesus is the only way because He is God, and as the law’s Creator, He alone could fulfill it perfectly. He lived the sinless life we could not, and as the only one with the authority to forgive, His declaration of forgiveness is final. Jesus fulfilled Old Testament prophecy, becoming the promised Savior who was crushed for our sins. Our sole claim to heaven rests in Jesus Christ.” Praise the Lord for His finished work on the cross.
