Why One Way to God?
Would you go around to everyone else’s home and call them your parents and never go home and call your own parents “Mom & Dad”. Would you want your spouse to love someone other than you? No, you would be jealous and angry. You have one set of parents and you have one spouse, so you only have one God. God is a jealous God, He wants what is due him, thanks and honor and love. To love an idol or some false God, like Buddha, Allah, or to say all religions lead to God would be giving honor to someone other than the true and living God that is not made by human hands or thoughts. So why it is crazy to say that there is only one way, and that all that choose to go the wrong way are hell bound! Because God wants you to return to him but you chose to commit adultery and worship and obey your own made up beliefs. God wants all to repent or change, just as your parents or spouse would and to return.
God has provided us a way to have life and this life is in his Son Jesus Christ, and to all that believe on him shall have eternal life and life more abundantly. Jesus showed the greatest love for us by dying on the cross for yours and my sins, and all of us are guilty of sin. God has provided you with a one way ticket to heaven, this ticket promises you eternal life through trusting on the work that Jesus has done for you on the cross. This ticket you cannot lose, you cannot scratch off the wrong numbers as you do in other Lotto’s. Mt 7:13 "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. If you were a ship going into a harbor with many sand bars and obstructions and there was only one path to enter, you would be wise to enter in that one way. God has made a way for you to have salvation but you must be wise to choose that path.
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. Romans 5:6-10; For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. To believe in Jesus is to submit yourself to him as you did your parents, to trust and be obedient to his Word (Holy Bible). Romans 6:23; For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Read the Bible for yourself. See if it is not so. It is so and you have a responsibility to choose life or to just shrug off this Jesus and die an eternal, forever death.
Scriptures you can look at: John 3:3; John 3:16, Read the all the gospel books to see his death on the cross for you and his resurrection. Romans 3:23; Romans 5:6-11; Romans 6:23; Galatians 5:19-24; John 3:36; Matthew 4:17; Romans 3:10-12 John 6:40
STEPS TO LIFE IN JESUS CHRIST
1. Acknowledge you’re a sinner
2. Ask Jesus to be Boss and Savior of your life, to give you a new heart, to give you new birth in his kingdom.
3. Repent means to make an about face direction or 180 degrees, in the direction to seek Jesus and his ways,
4. Start praying, read the Holy Bible, get in a Bible believing and teaching church, ask for the Holy Spirit to teach you truth.
5. Worship God who has given you life for he is worthy, He wants you to know him in a personal way.
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
John 3:36 "He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him."
Matt 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
John 6:40 "And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day."
Romans 3:10-12 As it is written: "There is none righteous, no, not one;
11 There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God.
12 They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one."
Romans 3:20-21 Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
I want you to ask a question?
Can you raise yourself from the dead?
If the soul that sins shall die, Eze 18,
Ro 2:12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
Ro 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Ro 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: and all are under God's judgment because of sin, and the penalty is eternal death?
So can you pay your debt for sin? yes, but what are you going to pay? death.
Another thought, If you have broke the law and are going before a court of law, if you know you are guilty and under penalty, or awaiting a sentence, or fine, what would make you feel relieved, what you think of yourself, or the judge giving you a less sentence than deserved?
The answer of forgiveness, or guilt, is with the one person who can forgive sin. Nothing you can do can bring your own forgiveness.
So name which of the below can forgive you of sin and death, if God is judge and you are dead unless you have a
propitiation or advocate, or pardoner for you?

Numbers 14 God told Moses to send spies into promised land, they returned with good news of fruitfulness of land, but 10 brought back fear of the people of the land as giants, cannot be defeated. God said, go in but the people refused, when they did that, God said, all over 20 years of age shall die in the wilderness, but then the people, tried to positively think that God would give them the land, but they were defeated.
So which of the above can you do which would pay or help with your salvation.
Joh 14:6 Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (KJV)
Jesus is saying, "I alone are your Savior, your works or efforts cannot redeem you or purchase your life, to raise you u from the dead.
Isa 43:11 I, [even] I, [am] the LORD; and beside me [there is] no savior.
God alone can be your Savior and this and other scriptures is the reason Paul said,
Eph 2:8 For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. (KJV)
So is there anything you can do, believe, or act to raise yourself from the dead, or Judge to relieve yourself of guilt? No! Only Christ Jesus alone, you Savior, and Pardon can be your relief, peace and security.
