Jesus is the Only Way to Heaven

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)
Christianity is an exclusive faith. The Bible clearly says that no one is ever going to be acceptable to God without believing on Jesus Christ. In John 14:6, we see Jesus Himself clearly telling His disciples that He is the only way to God the Father.
Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (Acts 4:10-12)
When Peter and John were giving their defense to the high priest and religious leaders, they clearly told them that there was no salvation outside of Jesus Christ. This would have been quite an affront to these religious men, who believed that they were doing God service through their vain ritual.
Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. (1 John 2:22-23)
The Bible tells us that if anyone denies Jesus Christ, they do not even worship the same god as the Christian God of the Bible.
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. (John 3:36)
This verse clearly states that the believer in Jesus Christ has everlasting life, and the unbeliever has the wrath of God.
Conclusion
These verses, among others, clearly teach that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation. Some isolated person out there without Christ does not have any hope, which is why we take Christian missions so seriously. We need to get the Gospel out to people, so they can be saved from sin, Satan, death, and hell.
Some have said that if people turn to the light (religion) that they have, it is close enough. This is blasphemy. Only by the blood of Jesus Christ can anybody be saved, and they must believe on his name.
The conclusion is that you and I must tell people the Gospel of Jesus Christ, because He is the only hope of ever being saved from perdition.
