(Paul taught us only one way. And, that is the only way according to most Church Empires.)

(When Jesus said "I am the way" he must have been talking about his teachings. Proof: If he was talking about his body, he would have said, "I will be the way, after I am crucified".)

From your heart, what is a good way to get to Heaven?

2007-09-10 09:42:53 · update #2

((beano))) - I believe your way will work just fine.

However, contextually there are about 29 other ways Jesus taught. (Love is never exclusive, it is inclusive.)

He didn't teach 30 ways. He taught one way, and that is through Him alone. **hug**

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

Jesus is the True Vine-John 15. Whoever does not abide in Him will be cast out as a branch and is withered, and thrown into the fire. We are to abide in Christ as He abides in the Father. They are One. You cannot have one without the other. There is no salvation apart from Christ--the Father and the Son are in agreement concerning that. If salvation were possible apart from Christ, then He died in vain. He didn't die in vain though. It is only through Jesus' shed blood, and through His resurrection that we can be saved, cleansed from sin, and have eternal life with God.

EDIT: Jesus' way is inclusive for all who will receive Him. However, it does require faith in Him, as well as in the word of God, and obedience to that Word.

I would really like to know the other 29 ways you think are acceptable in the sight of God, Uncle. :)

Christ said "I am the Way the Truth & the Light, NO Man enters unto the Father but through ME!" which is The Only Way to God that Christ talked about. John

This should be multiple choice... :P

Ok, accepting Heaven, God, souls, etc. then I would assume the best way to get there would be to die. Then wait for a cute, fluffy kitten to walk past the guy at the gate and sneak in!

Alternatively one could try being a decent, good person, but I hear the results of this are dubiously accepted by Christians.

John 14:6 says it all.
Jesus is speaking and talking about Himself.

The Lord Jesus Christ made it clear humans have only one physical life (Matthew 25:46) and His most important teaching is that Salvation is found ONLY through Him (Jesus) who is THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIFE, THE BREAD OF LIFE and THE DOOR (John 6:35; John 8:12; John 14:6; John 10:9-11). The way to Heaven is so simple but many reject it.

Without God, the spiritual part of the human being is dead (Ephesians 2:5, Colossians 2:13). The sin of our first parents (Adam and Eve) caused the separation between God and man. Romans 6:23 says the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Sin causes us to be separated from God which results in spiritual death. Christ, the 2nd Person of the Triune Godhead was made flesh (through the immaculate conception) and paid the price for our sins by dying on the cross so we could THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST AS OUR SAVIOUR be instantly redeemed and united to God and have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit who teaches us, comforts us and grants us fruits to live in righteousness and gifts to help and edify the Church. There is no redemption or unity to God apart from receiving the Lord Jesus Christ as one’s Saviour and Lord.

Only the pure and holy can enter Heaven and be with God. We human beings cannot make ourselves pure and holy no matter what we do and that's why we need a Saviour.

There are 2 kinds of people on the earth: people who love God and people who don't. Those who love God will be drawn to His Son Jesus Christ and accept him as their Lord and Saviour. Those who do not love God will not love His Son and accept Him.

1 John 2:23
Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

Those who do not love God are not good people but His enemies (Romans 5:10) and He has already prepared a place for them (Hell). Many say they love God but they are liars. How can we prove they are liars? God sent His Son to die for us, but these reject Him (Jesus) and the truth about Him.

The truth about Jesus Christ can be found only in the Holy Bible. Three days after the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, He resurrected from the dead (Luke 24:1-8; Acts 10:40; 1 Corinthians 15:4) and 40 days later, He ascended into Heaven (Acts 1:3; Luke 24:50-53; Acts 1:9-11).

A PERSON BECOMES A CHRISTIAN THROUGH FAITH. Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as one's Saviour grants the believer God's forgiveness, redemption, adoption by God, salvation and the infilling of the Holy Spirit ( the 3rd person of the Triune Godhead).

If a person physically dies without ever having made the Lord Jesus Christ their Saviour, God would not accept them into Heaven. They would go to Hell and then at the end of the Millennium, would be thrown into the Lake of Fire.

The Lord Jesus Christ describes hell as an actual place in the afterlife:

Luke 16:22-24
“The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’

The Lord Jesus Christ preached on the Lake of Fire and revealed this place of torment to John in visions (Matthew 25:41; Revelation 20:10; Revelation 21:8; Revelation 20:15; Revelation 20:14 Revelation 19:20).


REDEMPTION BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH

Because mankind is incapable of meeting God’s standard of perfection necessary to abide in God’s presence (Romans 3:19-20,23), God sent His Son Jesus Christ to pay the total debt for the believer’s sins and mercifully credits to his account Christ’s righteousness (Romans 3:21-28,5:1-11; 2 Corinthians 5:18-21). Jesus’ gracious act of atonement was complete and covers all sin (Colossians 2:13-14; 1 John 1:9). Salvation is not based on good deeds but according to the mercy of God (Titus 3:4-5). Believers are justified by faith; it is a gift by God’s grace (Romans 4:3-8; Ephesians 2:8-9). A true, living faith will result in a desire to live a holy, loving life of good works (Ephesians 2:10; Galatians 5:6; James 2:14-26), but failure to be absolutely successful at righteous living does not negate the believer’s justified status.

If you sincerely say this prayer, your sins will be washed away, you will be redeemed to God, be saved from eternal torment and inherit the Kingdom of God:

"Dear Jesus,

I am a sinner.
I repent of my sins.
Please forgive me and save me by your shed blood;
come into my heart.
I want to receive you as my own personal Lord and Savior.

Amen"
