IS JESUS THE ONLY WAY?

As a Christian I am often called a bigot and arrogant and a know all. Why? It is because I am rock solid in my faith and have been born from above and know God. If all faiths lead to God then there is one big question to ask ourselves! Is God a fool? I believe that God is no fool and that He gave us a true record of his dealings with mankind in the Bible. The Old Testament was revealing through animal sacrifices that innocent blood and death were needed to cleanse and wash away sin.

“For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses according to law to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded to you." And likewise he sprinkled both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the service with the blood. And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission.”
Heb 9:19-22

“And as they were eating, Jesus took the bread, and giving thanks, He broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, "Take, eat; this is My body."

"Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "Drink of it, all of you, for this is My blood of the new covenant,which is shed for many, for the forgiveness of sins”
Matthew 26:26-28

Christ came to fulfil the Law and was a sacrifice pleasing to God and sent by God. Some people try to say He never existed but even the very calendar of time changed from BC to AD. It is an historic fact that cannot be overlooked Jesus was real and his life and death were so significant the world changed from BC to AD and from the Old Testament was added The New Testament which made 66 books and a complete Bible. Jesus said, “It is finished” and God’s testimony to man was completed and all that had to be done was to write this record down. The Saviour of the world had truly come in human form and visited and died and rose again so that sins could be forgiven. If God accepted this perfect sacrifice of His Body and Blood how can we go somewhere else? Could God look at His One and Only Son who was without sin and allow such beating and violence and God’s own wrath to come upon Him for nothing? That we can go some other way? Avoiding the Precious Blood and a Sacrifice so Holy and pleasing to God? Jesus would have died for nothing if that were the case and God would truly be a fool! God has spoken to us through him and according to God and not a religious bigot it says:

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
John 14:6

“Enter in through the narrow gate; because wide is the gate, and broad is the way which leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in through it.

How narrow the gate, and confined the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it!”
Mat 7:13-14

“Truly, truly I tell you, the person who does not enter the sheepfold through the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a bandit.The one who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.”
John 10:1-2

“Jesus is the one of whom the scripture says, 'The stone that you the builders despised turned out to be the most important of all.'
Salvation is to be found through him alone; in all the world there is no one else whom God has given who can save us.”
Act 4:11-12

True Christians are not bigots but believers who have experienced the forgiveness of sins and the love and acceptance of God. They are declaring the truth of Jesus, according to God and with living proof written in their hearts! Is Jesus is the only way! Ask God the Father He will confirm that to you! Please forgive New Christians as they can get over excited! I KNOW!
