A new Christian sent an email to a  website that answers questions about faith. She said, “I struggle with the claim of other Christians that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven and to God. What will happen to those who believe otherwise?”

This kind of question challenges us to examine our view of Jesus. A scriptural review of Jesus and His uniqueness can help us stand strong in our belief that He is the only way.

Jesus is unmatched in history—His very being cries out for us to entrust our lives to Him. Jesus Christ is:

Unique in substance: He alone is both God and man (John 10:30). Unique in prophecy: No other leader’s life was foretold so clearly and accurately (Mic. 5:2). Unique in mission: Jesus alone came to save us from our sins (Matt. 1:21). Unique in birth: Only Jesus was born of a virgin (1:23). Unique in ability: No one but Jesus has the power to forgive sins (Mark 2:10). Unique in existence: Jesus alone existed before the beginning of time (John 1:1-2). Unique in position: No one else is equal with God (Phil. 2:5-6). Unique in reign: Only Jesus reigns forever (Heb. 1:8).

No one in history is like Jesus. He alone deserves our trust and He alone is the path to God.

Only one road leads to heaven—Jesus Christ is the way.
