Yes, Jesus is the only way to salvation. He is the way the truth and the life. There is a support statement in the Bible which is found in Acts 4:12 which says " NEITHER IS THERE SALVATION IN ANY OTHER; FOR THERE IS NONE OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN AMONG MEN, HEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED." In fact all of us know that Jesus died on the cross of calvary to save us from our sins. We are bought with a great price and that is the Blood of Jesus Christ. The only thing we must do is to BELIEVE HIS WORDS which we can find it in the Bible.

All men are born sinners and that is why we need a savior. The question now is, " IS IT POSSIBLE FOR MEN TO CHANGE HIS CONDITION AS A SINNER?" Obviously not. Like the leopard, can he change his spots? or can you change the color of your skin? absolutely not. Only through Jesus Christ we can obtain changes.

WHAT DOES MAN NEED IN HIS QUEST FOR SALVATION?
By reading the Holy scriptures which are able to make a person wise unto salvation through faith which is in Jesus Christ. 2 Timothy 3:15.
God said in Isaiah 45:22 "Look unto me and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth, for I am God and there is none else. If we are going to search in the scriptures we can find it in Romans 1:16 the clear statement which says; the gospel of Christ is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth. So then, Salvation is through Jesus Christ the son of God, and it is offered to everyone that believes.

Jesus Christ is the only person who is sinless when he was here on earth. He is perfect. And Being made perfect, he is the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him. Salvation is free, it is a blessing from God.

Can you not imagine how God loves all the people here on earth despite of their sins? He left His throne in heaven and live here on earth, gave His life to die on the cross in order for us to be saved? These things only proved that Jesus is the only way to salvation. He makes a way for us to have eternal life and salvation. Through Jesus Christ only we are saved. Obeying His laws and following His commandments are the things we can do in gratitude for His grace extended to us in order for us to be saved from sin.

Why Christ came to earth? Was it really necessary for Him to come to earth to save the people? Could the human race be saved on other way? Well, the answer is; CHRIST'S PURPOSE IN COMING TO EARTH WAS TO SAVE MAN. This was the object of His earthly mission. Jesus considered lost men of more value than all the glory of heaven. The death of Christ is heaven's great magnet drawing all men to Him.

When Jesus was resurrected from His death on the cross, He became our advocate to God the father. That is why when we pray, we would always say' IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST which simply means through Jesus Christ our prayers would reached to the throne of God the father. Jesus is the way, through Him God hears us. Since we are bought by His precious blood in the cross, he also served as our advocate to the father. I fully believe in my heart that without Jesus Christ, there is no salvation to all men here on earth. We must be thankful that God offered His life so that we can have salvation. To show our thankfulness to him, we must obey His commandments and live a life He wants us to be. He set good examples when He was yet on earth. It is hard to follow him because he live a perfect life but if we always commune with Him everyday, We will become more like Him. We can endure the hardships and temptations if we always come unto Him in prayer. He is the only source of strength to fight against all odds in life. This is another proof that Jesus Christ is the only way to SALVATION.
