Why is Jesus Christ the only way to God? For many,
implying that there is only one way to God is restrictive. In order to
answer the first question, we must look at one accomplishment that Christ had
that no other person has achieved. Christ is the only way to God, because
he is the only one who has ever defeated Satan.
Lets say hypothetically, I am playing a video game.
The objective of the game is to defeat the opponent to win. This may sound
easy, but to defeat your opponent might be extremely difficult. Many
could play this game for years and never win. Once someone won the game
everyone would want to know THE WAY.
Thus the only way to get to heaven is to defeat the one
that is trying to take you to hell.
Heaven = What God wants
Hell = What Satan wants
When Satan was defeated at Calvary, Hell was removed as an
option. Satan is such a manipulator that he can take any other way and
send you to Hell.
Jesus Christ is THE WAY to defeat Satan. His
self-sacrifice is the same requirement he asks of us. We deny ourselves
when we accept Jesus Christ as Lord. Christ deigned himself when he did
the will of God. Doing the will of God is the only way to God.
Jesus Christ is the only way to God, because he is the only
way to defeat Satan or Evil. We can talk all day about what is good,
however evil is clearly evident. Torture...Murder...Rape...Good has
nothing to do with any of that latter.
