Since that is what Jesus told us, I believe it.

Jesus said (paraphrase) that He was the Way, the Truth, and the Life. He also said (paraphrase) that no one comes to the Father, but through Me.
Jesus is the Gift from God to us. We accept it through faith, or deny it without faith. The faithful will be justified before the Father, inherit the kingdom of God, and have eternal life with Christ. All the others will be judged, found wanting, and thrown into the eternal lake of fire to be tormented day and night without any hope of ever escaping.
It all comes down to faith in Jesus as your Lord and Saviour.

In some manner of speaking, yes. "...no one comes to the Father except through me." Is it through the sacrifice that Jesus made that saved all mankind? Or is it through believing in Jesus as our Savior (which, however, would make the focus on us...our salvation would be based on our own work). Or is it through living a lifestyle that embodies what Jesus taught on how we should live life (which would mean many non-Christians would be saved)? It all depends on what we mean by Jesus is the only way to get to God.

John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the away, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Matt. 11: 27.
All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
Luke 10: 22.
All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.
for those who are still waiting for Him to come, will still have their way to God.
Jesus did not say "only". But i do believe He is indeed the way, because He is one with God. And there is the Holy Spirit too.

Well I know and believe that JESUS is the only way to God..For he says "I am the only way, truth and life and no one can come to the Father but through Me" John 14:6
That is just ONE verse of many that proves Jesus is the only way to heaven- to eternal life...that salvation is only through Him.
Acts 4:12
Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."

Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one goes to the Father except by Him.

Look at the big picture.
1. Look at God's personality
2. Look at Millions of Chinese people who have never heard of Jesus.
3. Look in the Bible for about 10 examples of humans not in the Adam and Eve bloodline.
4. Jesus came to Earth to deliver a message. Everything he ever said related to that message. When he said you can only "get to God" (Go to Heaven) through him. He was referring to his message.
Then people started interpreting it as through his physical heroship. Jesus spent his entire career bringing us his message. He never said look at me (in the physical sense).
Universally, you can only get to Heaven through Jesus' message.
(Which is the same message as Confucious, and many other harmony-loving folks on Earth.
And just what is God's message, and Jesus' message, and the Bible's message, and the Buddhist message, et al.
1. Harmony is harmony. (harmony is its own reward.)
2. Disharmony is the only sin against God.
3. You will Go to Heaven if you choose harmony as a way of life.
(Jesus is my savior because of what was important to him; His message.)
Jesus is my hero because he came to this dangerous planet to bring and reitterate God's message.
Answer: Jesus (his message) is the only way for me to get to Heaven because I don't speak Chinese.
sorry for the long reply.

Most definitely---we have to acknowledge the sacrifice of His Son--and His Son allowing Himself to be sacrificed.

Doesn't matter what I believe. That is what Jesus claimed.
PS- that is what I believe by the way & because of that I will be with him for eternity.
