There are people who hold to a belief that all roads lead to heaven. They believe that as long as one is sincere in his or her beliefs, then they will go to heaven – regardless of what they believe.

The standard for them is not truth, but rather sincerity. No matter how sincere someone is about not succumbing to the force of gravity prior to jumping off a building, they will soon plummet to the ground at 9.8 meters per second.  Although they may have been sincere, the truth prevailed.

The apostle Peter boldly proclaimed that “there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved,” (Acts 4:12).

Those who wish to push aside the claims of Christ are quick to judge Christians as arrogant and narrow-minded. Jesus was not concerned about those who would make such claims about him.  He unashamedly declared, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me,” (John 14:6).

Jesus made it very clear that sincerity in anything other than him would not save anyone.  He alone came to die so that the sinner may live.  He alone rose from the grave to conquer sin and death.  He alone is the way to heaven.
