Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (NIV) John 14:6
Jesus made it very clear that a relationship with Him is the only way that someone will have eternal life in Heaven. No one comes to the Father except through Christ (John 14:6), but also, no one can come to Christ unless the Father has enabled him (John 6:65).
There are not many ways to God. Just as there are not many names for the same God. There is only one Christ – the only person ever, who lived, who died, and who was raised from the dead, never to die again! He is the only Man who has defeated death! Many people today are saying that there are various ways to get to Heaven, that Jesus is not the only way, but that contradicts the Bible. The next time someone tells you that they have a different ticket to Heaven other than through a relationship with Jesus Christ, point them to John 14:6 and ask them how to explain their viewpoint in light of that verse.
