"I am the way, the truth and the life, no one gets to the Father but through me...he who hates Me hates my Father also." John14:5-7, 15:23

Sometimes Christians tell people that are other ways to heaven, that there might be other avenues to God only to profess to our believing friends that we believe firmly in Christ’s ultimate sacrifice. C.S. Lewis wrote that Jesus didn’t give us the option to look at Him as merely a good man or a good teacher. He was either the Son of God, a liar, or a lunatic. He didn’t leave us many options; we either deny Him or accept Him. To try and be accepting and think or say that Christ might not be the only way is to believe in some part of your heart that His sacrifice was not everything the bible professes it to be. It is to ascribe to the idea that He was not God’s completion of Himself. We who are Christians have handed our lives to Christ, we seek to submit continually and let Him work in us. In doing so, we believe that He made the perfect sacrifice, that he was the "perfect penitent" for our sins, that we need Him and can do nothing apart from Him. To believe that He is not the way is to degrade your choice to give your life to Him and it downplays what He did for us. I think we can all say that our choice to sign over our lives was the most important one we have ever made. If it was merely a good option among other good options then why give Him everything? Stand strong, not in judgment, but in faith, obedience, and gratitude for what He did and stand strong in your choice to allow Him to live in you. You don’t have to condemn anyone by knowing that Christ is the only way, you’re being faithful to Him. If others take what you believe as a harsh judgment then that is there own reaction to God convicting them. Don’t force the issue, just believe. Don’t be scared, just believe. Don’t judge, just believe. Jesus came "not to condemn the world, but to save it" (John 3:17), but He never denied that He was the messiah and so we must not deny Him, because to deny Him in any way is to deny the Father.
