Just wanted to quickly give a few verses that I read today, starting with one in 1 Peter, that show that Jesus is the only way to the Father. Alot of folks say that any sincerely held belief is enough to gain acceptance in the sight of God. Here's a few places that address that idea:
1 Peter 2:6 "he that believeth on Him shall not be confounded..."
John 3:15 "whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish"
John 3:16 "whosoever believeth in Him should not perish"
John 3:18 "he that believeth on Him is not condemned"
John 3:36 "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life"
John 6:47 "He that believeth on Me hath everlasting life"
Note that in each of these, the person of the Lord Jesus Christ is being refered to as the object of "belief." Not Santa Claus, or the Easter Bunny, or the Tooth Fairy, or Bhudda or Allah or anyone or anything else. Only in Christ can we have eternal life.
