How do we know that Christ is the only way to salvation?
Answered in 20 sources
The Bible firmly asserts that Jesus is the only mediator between God and humanity, as salvation is conditioned entirely on His righteousness (John 14:6, Acts 4:12).
According to Scripture, Jesus Christ declares Himself as the only way to God when He states, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me' (John 14:6). This exclusivity is further affirmed in Acts 4:12, where Peter proclaims that there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. These verses indicate that salvation is not based on our efforts or other religious pathways but solely on Christ's completed work. The message of the gospel emphasizes that it is by God's grace through faith in Christ's righteousness, and not by any merits of our own, that we receive salvation. Therefore, any doctrine that suggests multiple paths to God is contrary to the teaching of Scripture and signifies a serious deviation from the truth of the gospel.
