The Narrow Gate
Jesus said,
"Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6.
This is a no compromise statement saying Jesus is the way to heaven.
Earlier in John’s Gospel he records Jesus speaking of himself saying,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son”. John 3:16-18.
This is what believers in Christ Jesus believe. He is the way to heaven period.
Many in this world say there are many ways to heaven. If they are right then a believer in Christ has nothing to fear, because Jesus is most definitely one of those ways.
On the other hand if what Christians believe is correct and Jesus is indeed the only way to heaven then those who have been presented with the gospel message and disagree with it, have a lot worry about.
Please think about it.
Jesus said,
“Enter through the narrow gate.
For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction,
and many enter through it.
But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life,
and only a few find it.
Matthew 7:13.14.
