How do we know Jesus is the only way to eternal life?
Answered in 1 source
Jesus is the only way to eternal life as He is the one who bore our sins and grants us access to God.
Mark 10:17-22 recounts the story of a rich young ruler who inquired about inheriting eternal life. Jesus reveals that mere adherence to the law is not enough; he lacks the one essential thing—faith and following Jesus. It is Christ’s atoning work on the cross that provides redemption and eternal life. In John 14:6, Jesus proclaims, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.' This underscores the sovereign grace theology that salvation is exclusively through faith in Jesus Christ, emphasizing His unique role as our mediator who secures eternal life for His people by His sacrificial love.
