How do we know Jesus is the way to salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' assertion 'I am the way' confirms that He is the exclusive means of salvation, as taught in the New Testament.

The truth of Jesus being the way to salvation is affirmed through His own words in John 14:6. In this verse, Christ asserts His unique position as the only mediator through whom individuals can come to God. This teaching is foundational in Reformed theology, aligning with the belief that salvation is by grace alone through faith in Christ alone. The New Testament consistently points to the efficacy of His sacrificial death, emphasizing that without His atonement, humanity remains estranged from God.

Moreover, passages such as Ephesians 1:4 highlight God's sovereign choice in electing His people before the foundation of the world. This affirms that the way of salvation is not contingent upon human decision but rather on God's sovereign grace. Thus, believers can rest assured that their hope in Christ is anchored in the truth of Scripture and the sufficiency of His sacrifice, which fully meets the demands of God's justice and offers reconciliation to all who believe.
