A badly misrepresented and misunderstood verse in the bible. Jesus the man is not the only way. There are many on earth now with the same power as jesus. No man finds his union with God but through Christ consciousness. This is within your own heart. The kingdom of God is within you. "God dwells within you as you." You have unity with God in unconditional love within your own heart. NOW, it is already a fact, you but need to awaken to "That". Study the vedic roots of christianity and you will find this to be true. See; www.stephen-knapp.com/articles_to_read. this is an unbiased, and factual site.

The Right to Enter Paradise
Death is inevitable. The thief on the cross knew when his would occur, but we can not predict our own. After his death, the crucified criminal went to live in paradise with Jesus. Some of us will also live eternally in God's presence. But others will experience everlasting torment, forever separated from Him.
If we receive Jesus as our Savior, our penalty for sin is paid. We are adopted into God's family, and Heaven is our eternal home. If we reject Jesus, we remain alienated from the Lord and under condemnation for our sin. We are destined to experience eternal judgment. God won't accept any of man's excuses because there is no acceptable defense for unbelief. (Acts 4:12)
Become part of God's family today. Acknowledge your sinfulness, and express your faith in these words:
"God, I have sinned against You. (Romans 3:23) I've followed my own way and refused to give You the right to rule in my life. (Romans 3:10-12) I recognize I am separated from You and cannot rescue myself. I do believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I accept the truth of the Scriptures? that His death on the cross paid my sin-debt in full. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) And I ask You to forgive me of my sins. (1 John 1:9) By faith, I receive You, Lord Jesus, as my personal Savior from this moment on."
If you just spoke those words to God, then, like the thief on the cross, you have received salvation? a gift of God's grace. The heavenly Father welcomes every person who comes to Him through His Son, regardless of background, age, or current situation. Through Jesus, the right to enter paradise is yours!

It simply means that God cannot forgive your sins and be close to you unless you believe in his son Jesus. You have to believe that he died for your sins so you could God forget all your sins when you ask him and you have to love him and live like he says to live in the bible. Everyone will meet Jesus when they die and you must either accept him and get to God the Father or reject him and his message and be separated from God.

Jesus is the ultimate forgiver. If there is anything in your life that may be upsetting to God if you approach God through God forgiveness (Jesus) your offense is forgotten and you ahve God's attention undistracted.

What does it mean to you is all that really matters. But if I were you I'd look for Jesus deep inside of yourself instead of where everyone else will tell you to find him.

No man comes to the Father, which is in Heaven, but through Jesus Christ.
Jesus is the intermediary.
Actually I prefer saying Jesus is our advocate before God.
If we deny HIM He will deny us before HIS Father.

God can't look on sin. Sin separetes us from God because He is Holy. Jesus came to earth & died for our sins,past, present & future. He was the sacrificial lamb. He died in our place.
(Jesus died to restore our relationship with God.) (God gave His son Jesus all authority in Heaven & in Earth because of His death & Ressurection.) You must ask Jesus in your heart & ask for forgiveness of sins and He will. This restores our relationship with God.That is why when we pray to God we ask in Jesus name and it will be done for you.

Jesus earned that right through the sacrifical death he painfully suffered for mankind.

I think he meant it like " You're not getting to God if I can help it!".
