The Only Way

Is there another way to God besides Jesus?

Yes, there are many ways Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Him Good works are enough Any sincere religion works

And Now?

Jesus Christ is the center of Christian faith:

He is God: Divine, eternal, Creator
He became man: To save us, He lived as one of us
He died for us: He paid the price for our sins
He rose again: He conquered death and offers eternal life
He is the only way: There is no salvation outside Him

Yes, I believe and accept this truth.
