INTRODUCTION

Clearly, most people believe there are many paths to salvation. Is that true? What did Jesus and His apostles say about the path to salvation, the way to eternal life?

I. THERE IS ONLY ONE PATH TO SALVATION

A. Jesus IS THE WAY
1. He said the way to life was difficult and narrow, found by few - Matthew 7:13-14
2. He taught that unless we believe in Him, we will die in our sins - John 8:24
3. He claimed to be the only way to the Father - John 14:6 -- There is only one path to salvation, and that is through Jesus!

B. THE APOSTLES
1. Peter said salvation is found only in Jesus' name - Acts 4:12
2. Paul said those who do not obey the gospel of Jesus Christ will experience vengeance when Jesus comes again – 2 Thessalonians 1:7-8-

II. FALSE TEACHERS SAY THERE ARE MANY PATHS TO SALVATION

A. JESUS SPEAKS THE TRUTH!
1. He said no man comes to the Father but through Him - John 14:6
2. Salvation comes only through Jesus - Acts 4:12 -- Jesus and His apostles only taught that salvation comes ONLY THROUGH JESUS!

B. JESUS SUFFERED AND HIS DISCIPLES SUFFERED FOR THIS GOSPEL
1. Jesus' suffering and death on the cross were necessary for our salvation
a. His shed blood was the only way through for our salvation.
2. His apostles' suffering and deaths were necessary to hold fast to Jesus’ teachings and doctrine!
a. Paul put up with his hardships! 2 Corinthians 11:23-29
b. The apostles endure martyrdom to prove that this is the only true gospel. Through Jesus’ blood is the only way to salvation. They died for the Gospel of Jesus Christ because Jesus is the ONLY WAY TO SALVATION.

-- If there are many paths to salvation, then Jesus and His apostles died in vain!

III. THE PATH TO SALVATION

A. WE MUST HEAR THE GOSPEL IN ORDER TO RESPOND IN FAITH TO WHAT JESUS COMMAND!

1. Your faith should ignite there should be a stirring, an arousal, a flame to accept the WORDS OF JESUS because faith comes by hearing the Word of God - Romans 10:17
2. Jesus sent His apostles and preachers to many and they all asked as we do today, - Acts 10:42-43, -- Have you heard the gospel of Jesus Christ?

B. WE MUST BELIEVE (TRUST) IN JESUS
1. As the propitiation (atoning sacrifice) offered by God for sins- 1 John 4:9-10
2. Whose blood provides redemption, the forgiveness of sins – Ephesians 1:7

C. WE MUST REPENT OF OUR SINS...
1. For Jesus is coming to judge the world - Acts 17:30-31
2. For we must turn from darkness to light, from the power of Satan to God - Acts 26:18
3. Otherwise, we will perish! - Luke 13:3
-- Have you made the decision to turn from your sins to serve the living God?

D. WE MUST BE BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST
1. To be saved - Mark 16:15-16
2. To receive the remission of sins and gift of the Holy Spirit- Acts 2:38
3. To be raised with Christ from death to newness of life - Romans 6:3-7

F. WE MUST REMAIN FAITHFUL TO JESUS
1. To learn from Him as His disciples - Matthew 28:19-20
2. To imitate Him as our Mentor - Luke 6:40
3. To remain faithful to Him even to the point of death - Revelations 2:10
-- Have you made Jesus your Teacher and Mentor, as well as your Savior?

CONCLUSION

Believing there are many paths to salvation is a comforting doctrine to hold, this is viewed by many as tolerant and easy. This is the very reason why many follow false pastors and leaders.

2. But if one really believes in Jesus, they must abide in His teaching. John 8:30-32
a. That few will be saved
b. Jesus is the only way to the Father MANY OF YOU ARE TRYING TO GET TO THE FATHER BUT YOU DON’T WANT TO GET BAPTIZED IN JESUS’ NAME. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO GET TO THE FATHER.
c. That we must obey His gospel plan of salvation ACTS 2:38
d. That we must follow Him as our Teacher and Mentor the rest of our life

Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life! Are you on that path that leads to eternal life?
