115. Is Jesus Really the Only Way to Heaven?
Show Notes

In this week's episode, we're answering the questions, "Is Jesus the Only Way to Get to Heaven?" and "If someone has never heard about Jesus, so they haven't had the chance to accept or reject Him, dies, will they go to heaven?"

A survey was done recently among Americans about what they believe about heaven. In this survey, these people were asked:

  1. Do you believe in Heaven? 73% said yes.
  2. Do you believe you are going to heaven? 60% said yes.
  3. How does someone get to heaven? 50% said that if you are generally good or you do enough good for others, you will earn a place in heaven.
  4. 40% said that you don't have to believe in God to go to heaven.

On top of this survey, a couple years ago a pastor at a church in New York told his congregation that the belief that anyone who doesn’t believe in Jesus is going to hell is insanity. He then went on to say that’s not even what Jesus believed. He then went on to say that many people take many paths to get to God. 

But is what this New York pastor saying true? The short answer, no. He is deceived and sadly leading many people away from God not toward God. 

John 14:1-6 says and this is Jesus speaking, "“Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in Me (Jesus). There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. And you know the way to where I am going.”

 “No, we don’t know, Lord,” Thomas said. “We have no idea where you are going, so how can we know the way?”

Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through Me." 


 If these are the words that came right out of Jesus’ mouth himself, how ca n this pastor claim that Jesus did not believe this as Truth. It’s a lie and deceptive.   

 Jesus is the only way because He’s the only One who took our sins, replaced our sins with His perfect life and all we have to do is receive this free gift that He gives
