Tony was looking for an old friend. When he got near where his friend lived, he stopped to ask someone how to get to his friend's house. The man giving him directions lived in the area. After receiving the directions to his friend's house, Tony asked, “Is that the best way?” The man who gave him the directions answered, “That is the ONLY way.”
Boys and girls, there is no other way to heaven except through the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible tells us that “all have sinned,” and “that through this man [Jesus] is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins” (Acts 13:3838Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: (Acts 13:38)). If you and I are going to be in heaven, it must be through faith in one Person, the Lord Jesus and the blood He shed on Calvary's cross. We must open our hearts to receive Him as our very own Saviour. The Bible tells us this is the ONLY way to heaven. Jesus said, “I am THE way” (John 14:66Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)).
The good news of the gospel must be believed, and God expects us to believe what He says. “Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures...He was buried, and ... He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:3-43For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: (1 Corinthians 15:3‑4)).
Do you believe what God says about the way to heaven? You must if you want to be in that happy place where we all want to go. “Neither is there salvation in any other: for THERE IS NONE OTHER NAME under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:1212Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (Acts 4:12)).
