How do we know that Christ is the ladder to heaven?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is known as the ladder to heaven because He uniquely connects humanity to God through His dual nature as both God and man.

The ladder symbolizes Jesus Christ, who is both fully divine and fully human. This dual nature is vital because only someone who is both can mediate effectively between God and humanity. The image of the ladder reaching from earth to heaven signifies how Christ, through His incarnation and sacrificial death, serves as the way to the Father. Jesus Himself claims in John 14:6 that He is 'the way, the truth, and the life,' confirming that no one comes to the Father except through Him. This belief anchors the Christian faith in the reality of salvation that is possible only through Christ's atoning work.
