Is Christianity the One True Religion?
Yes, Christianity is the one true religion. That may sound awfully dogmatic and
narrow-minded, but the simple truth is that Christianity is the only true religion.
Jesus said that He alone was the way to the Father (John 14:6), that He alone revealed the
Father (Matt. 11:27; Luke 10:22). Christians do not go around saying Christianity is the
only way because they are arrogant, narrow-minded, stupid, and judgmental. They do so
because they believe what Jesus said. They believe in Jesus, who claimed to be God (John
8:58; Exodus 3:14), who forgave sins (Mark 2:5; Luke 5:20; 7:48), and who rose from the
dead (Luke 24:24-29; John 2:19f). Jesus said that He was the only way. Jesus
is unique. He was either telling the truth, He was crazy, or He was a liar. But since
everyone agrees that Jesus was a good man, how then could He be both good and crazy, or
good and a liar? He had to be telling the truth. He is the only way.
Christianity is not just a religion; it is a relationship with God. It is a trusting in Jesus and what He did
on the cross (1 Cor. 15:1-4), not on what you can do for yourself (Ephesians 2:8-9).
Buddha didn't rise from the dead, nor did Confucius or
Zoroaster. Muhammad didn't fulfill detailed prophecy. Alexander the Great didn't raise the
dead or heal the sick. And though there is far less reliable information written about
them, they are believed in.
The scripture is right when it says in 1 Pet. 2:7-8, "This
precious value, then, is for you who believe. But for those who disbelieve, 'The stone
which the builders rejected, this became the very corner stone,' and, 'A stone of
stumbling and a rock of offense'; for they stumble because they are disobedient to the
word, and to this doom they were also appointed." (NASB).
