Does it actually say in the Bible that Jesus is the only way into the Kingdom of Heaven?

Question

Those who are made known about Jesus and reject Him will not be saved. I remember reading this but can't recall the specific verse. Can anyone confirm this? And at the second coming when people see Jesus arriving, if you repent at that very moment when you see Him coming, would you be saved?

Answer 1

Jesus answered him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one goes to the Father except through me" John 14:6

Then people will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near" Luke 21:27-28


if you repent you are saved.

Answer 2

John 14:6
6 Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Acts 4:10-12
10 let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene—whom you crucified and whom God raised from the dead—by Him this man is standing here before you healthy.
11 This [Jesus] is The stone despised by you builders, who has become the cornerstone.
12 There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people by which we must be saved.”

Also, comparing 2 Pet 3:9 & 15 seems to indicate that God's patience is giving people an opportunity to be saved - but that opportunity will end with the second coming. The Lord’s patience is because of His desire that people come to salvation (cf. v. 9). The seeming procrastination of the Second Coming, far from being negative inaction on God the Father’s part is rather a demonstration of His makrothymian (“long-suffering”). Now the world has time to repent, but this will not be so when “the day of judgment” (2:9; 3:7) comes.

2 Peter 3:9
9 The Lord does not delay His promise, as some understand delay, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish, but all to come to repentance.

2 Peter 3:15
15 Also, regard the patience of our Lord as [an opportunity for] salvation, just as our dear brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you.

Answer 3

Try John 14:6 for Part 1 (Jesus the only way to heaven)
Try John 3.35 - 3:36 for Part 2 (Those who know Jesus but reject him will not be saved)
Try Rev 11 for part 3 (Repent and second coming)

Answer 4

Are ya kinda holding out?Pushing the envelop?Regarding repenting at the moment you see him coming-the "rapture" will have already taken place. After that, if you want to go to Heaven, I dont think it will be too late. But you will suffer hardships, not being able to buy food or medicine, or having housing etc.(That is if you dont accept the mark of the beast which will be like a "pass" to get food etc) Jesus will come to fight the last battle, just about right before the point where man would otherwise destroy himself and the world.
Re: the 2nd coming-read the parable about the virgins who waited to get their oil for their lamps.
Yes, Jesus said "I am the way, the truth and the life.No one comes unto the Father but by me."
Of course if you reject Jesus you will not be saved. I thought that meant those saved that turn away. Look, God knows your heart and everything you are thinking. If you want to be saved, have knowledge of Jesus as Saviour, and you have not committed to it, you dont have to panic that God has shut you out. Jesus said Be Ready. So I cant tell you to think about it. What I can tell you is that God is a loving and merciful God. He knocks on our door a few times, and if we continually reject, he stops knocking and we quit caring about it.
Edit: so that you understand God a bit more by Jesus' words. We have sinned. God cannot tolerate sin or sinners. But this is what it is like, God looks at his son Jesus, and picture as if Jesus is kind of transparent, God sees us through Jesus. We cant be saved and go to God except through Jesus. Its because of sin, in us, un thanks Adam of the garden. Sin is ugly. If we actually were in the prescence of God without the covering of Jesus we would die, simply because of sin in us. So, we have Jesus.
And why do you think, if Satan actually knew why Jesus was born, Satan would have tried to do all he could to prevent the crucifixion? Should tell you something. Other than "evild"'s being Satan's mouthpiece (right now).

Answer 5

John 14:6
6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

A repenting when you see Christ in the sky, would only be motivated by desire to avoid punishment for sin. It would not be becaue of any spiritual awakening in the heart where the individual has the desire to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. I doubt that this last second repenting can save.

Answer 6

"Jesus answered, "I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6 As for your second question "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."John 20:29. I don't think it's a good idea to repent at the last moment....

Answer 7

I have never seen jesus and do not think you have anything to worry about. He has been dead a long time. However I doubt the ghost of a criminal the romans eventualy brought to justice is the path to "heaven" but more like something you would not want to encounter in a dark alley. Infact the best way to save yourself is to completely reject jesus and the foolishness of that religeon all together. Use reason and move forward rather than taking steps backwards.

Answer 8

Yes, and most Christians take this quite literally, believing that anyone who has heard of Jesus and not accepted him goes to hell for all eternity. This view contradicts everything else Jesus taught us about our loving Father in heaven.

Catholics do not take this verse quite so literally. Look up the Catholic view on non-Christians in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, available online.

Answer 9

Jesus said if you reject him the Father in Heaven would also reject you
No, it will be too late
that refers to the last days before he comes back

Answer 10

God loves us so much and His grace is available to all. He has asked us to accept His Son and the sacrifice that His Son made for each one of us who will accept Him.

God tells us that upon the arrival of Jesus, every knee will bow. However, some will say Lord Lord haven't I done many things in your name? Jesus will say to some, depart from me you cursed, I never knew you.

Why wait until He comes when you can enjoy His love, protection and friendship now?
