Is Jesus the only way to God?
The short answer
Christians hold this with humility. Jesus made a striking claim: 'I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.' Believers hold it not as arrogance but because of who Jesus is and what He did, God opening a way home we could never open ourselves. It is less a narrow rule than an open door, offered freely to everyone.

Christians believe this not out of arrogance but because of who Jesus is and what He did, that in Him, God opened a way home that we could never open ourselves. It is less a narrow rule than an open door, offered freely to everyone.
“I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
