Is there only one way to eternal life or are there more ways to eternal life? To answer this question, we must look at what the Bible says about salvation and what the Bible says about the way to eternal life.
Every person is born as a sinner
Every person, who is born on this earth, is born in the flesh in a fallen state with a sinful flesh and carries sin and death. This sinful nature separates people from God. Because this sin nature rebels against God and disobeys His Word.
Every person is born as a sinner and and is ruled by the flesh (senses, mind, thoughts, emotions, feelings etc.) Because of the fact, that a person is a sinner, the person walks in sin. This means that the person shall do those things that oppose the will of God.
The sinner lives in darkness under the power of the devil, sin and death. A sinner carries the death because the spirit of a sinner is death. As long as the spirit in a person remains dead, death rules the life of a person and the person bears the fruit of death, which is sin. When the person dies, the person goes to hell (the kingdom of the death).
The final destination of the old creation (everyone, who is born of Adam’s seed; the seed of man) is eternal death, unless…
What is the only Way to eternal life?
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life (Жон 3:16)
There is only one way, to escape God’s judgment; the punishment for sin: eternal death. That is by the blood of Jesus Christ and regeneration in Him; repentance, the death of the flesh and the resurrection of the spirit from the dead, by the power of the Holy Spirit.
When the spirit of a person is raised from the dead, by the power of the Holy Spirit, the person is born again in the spirit, by the seed of the Holy Spirit.
The person has become a new creation in Christ; a son of God (this applies to both males and females).
There is no one, who can come to God the Father, than through Jesus Christ, хүү.
No one can be saved and be reconciled with God the Father, by their own works.
No one can be saved by visiting a church every week or become a church member, reading the Bible, praying, charity works, etc.. Because these carnal works can’t do anything about the sinful flesh, the state and nature of fallen man, and the spiritual connection with God. The flesh, can’t please the Father, because the flesh carries the sinful nature.
That’s why Jesus had to die, to deal once and for all with this sin problem.
The evil; the sin and iniquity of fallen man, killed Jesus Christ. When you think about that and ponder on it, you won’t be so hasty anymore to keep walking in sin.
Jesus dealt with the sin problem
Jesus was crucified and died on the cross. He took all evil; all sins and iniquities of the human race (the world), upon Himself. Jesus carried, all the sins and iniquities, that reigned in the old man; the old creation. By His blood, Jesus conquered sin and death.
Jesus was obedient to His Father until death. He carried the punishment of death, which was actually meant for the sinner; the old creation.
Because of His redemptive work, Jesus dealt once and for all with the sin problem and the sinful nature, that is present in every human being, who is born on this earth; the old creation.
When you’re redeemed by the blood of Jesus from sin and death, you are redeemed from eternal death and the kingdom of death.
Тиймээс, you no longer belong to the kingdom of darkness.
Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins (Колоссайчууд 1:13)
By the blood of Jesus, you have been bought and transferred to the Kingdom of God.
You are no longer the old creation; born of the seed of Adam. But you have become a new creation in Jesus Christ; born of the seed of the Holy Spirit. All things have passed away and all things have become new.
You are a representative of the Kingdom of God
Now that you have been redeemed from sin and death, you shall no longer walk after the flesh. Your spirit that has been raised from the dead, shall rule over your flesh. You shall оюун ухаанаа шинэчил Бурханы үгээр. Because through the Word, you will get to know, Есүс, Эцэг, and the Kingdom of God. The Holy Spirit shall be your Teacher, your Guide, and Helper.
You shall no longer be a representative of the kingdom of darkness. You shall not be a slave of sin and death; a slave of the devil, anymore.
But you shall now walk as a representative of the Kingdom of God. You shall walk in righteousness and holiness, as a son of the Most High God.
The blood of Jesus has redeemed you from sin and death. Your old life as a sinner; the old creation, is erased by the blood of Jesus. It no longer exists to God.
You have received a new life in Jesus Christ.
And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross (Колоссайчууд 2:13-14)
God’s love and mercy made the way to eternal life
God’s great love and mercy for people, became visible through the perfect redemptive work of Jesus Christ. His work has ensured, that every person has the ability to be reconciled with God the Father.
Every person, who believes in Jesus Christ; the Son of God, and accepts Jesus as Saviour and Lord, shall be redeemed from sin and death (the death punishment for sin).
Бүгд, who is born again in the spirit, becomes a new creation and has the life of God. The people, who have the life of God, shall receive eternal life.
This is the way to eternal life; the only way to eternal life. Despite what people may say, there’s no other way to eternal life, than through Jesus Christ and by His blood.
There are no side entries, and no sideways to come to God the Father. There is only one Door and one Way to eternal life, and that is through Jesus Christ.
The lies of the devil about the way to eternal life
The world may develop all kinds of promising philosophies and theories about the way to eternal life. But they’re developed from their carnal mind; human wisdom and knowledge, feelings and emotions.
The world can say all they want. They can say, that it doesn’t matter, what you believe, as long as you do good and do what’s right (according to the standards of the world) and be nice to your fellowmen, have respect and tolerate all kinds of behavior, гэх мэт. then you will be saved.
Or they even can say, “it doesn’t matter what you believe or to which religion you belong to, eventually, we all believe in the same God“.
But these are all lies from the devil because it does matter!
Харамсалтай нь, many people believe these lies, including many Christians.
Тэдгээр, who are not born again and don’t walk after the Spirit, shall believe and support these lies.
These carnal Christians believe that there are more ways to God and eternal life, because God is love.
But the truth is, that there are no other ways. The Bible says so. The Word of God is reliable and trustworthy. Яагаад? Because every word that has been spoken; every prophecy that the Word has given, has come to pass and still comes to pass.
God can’t have communion with sinners
The truth is, that God can’t have communion with sinners; with the sinful nature of the old man.
God can only have communion and a relationship with the new creation; those who have been sanctified by the blood of Jesus Christ and have laid down their flesh, and whose spirit have been raised from the dead, by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Every person, who doesn’t believe in Jesus; the Son of God, as Redeemer; the Messiah, and doesn’t make Jesus Lord over his/her life, and doesn’t do what Jesus has commanded His followers to do, shall be lost forever.
Jesus alone is the Door. He is the Way to the Father and Jesus alone is the way to eternal life.
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by Me (Жон 14:6)
