Is Christianity Exclusive? Unequivocally Yes ... and Absolutely Not

Every belief system is exclusive, so let's just get that out on the table.  Even those who believe that all or certain "religions" are equally valid are being exclusive in that belief.  Agnostics and Atheists believe what they believe exclusively.  Same with Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, etc.

So yes, in that way, Christianity is exclusive because Jesus said quite clearly, "I am the way, the truth and the life.  No one goes to the Father except through me."

But absolutely not.  The free gift of salvation is offered to everyone.  Everyone - no matter what.  You simply have to accept the free gift.

I like this quote from Robert Taylor of Gateway Church:

"Stop getting upset that Christ says He is the only way, and start getting excited that there IS a way."  

He provided it.  The only other way is to live a perfect life from start to finish.  How are you tracking on that?  No one but Jesus has ever accomplished that.  But you don't need to worry about your sins if you have Christ.  He paid the bill for all your sins - past and future - making you clean as snow.

Yes, Christianity is the only way.  I don't say that to be hateful or intolerant.  I say it to be truthful.

Accept the gift today.  It's offered to you, too.  And the difference between now and eternity with or without God could be only a heartbeat away.  So please, please, please make it a priority.

Much love and God bless.
