Is this the most misinterpreted statement in the Bible? The Gospel of John is philosophically orientated; the Logos or Christ-principle is paramount, as taught in the first chapter. Thus, when these words are attributed to Jesus, he is explaining that only the Christlike have true life, as a gift from God. However, there is nothing to suggest that Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus, etc. can not also be Christlike. This is actually a universalistic passage, but people twist it to make it exclusive because of pride.
Could this be the most misunderstood Biblical passage of all time?
