Why only one way?

The author presents the gospel of Christ as the one and only true path to salvation. Today, postmodernists declare that "no single path is the right one"; any path you wish to take is fine. There is no absolute truth. But in this book, John MacArthur defends Christianity's exclusive claim and presents the gospel of Christ as the one and only true path to salvation.

Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). THE BIBLE SAYS there is only “one way” to God, but today postmodernists claim that “no particular way is the right way” and that any way is valid. For them, there is no absolute truth. In their inclusive view, one person's opinion is as valid and beneficial as any other, regardless of differences. In contrast to this stance, the relevance of the gospel has always been its absolute exclusivity: Christ was the only one who made atonement for sin, and therefore faith in Christ is the only thing that can reconcile us with God. Although this exclusive message has always been a stumbling block for some and foolishness for others, we believers are commanded to believe it and preach it under any circumstances. Nevertheless, many Christians today are increasingly uncomfortable with this single-path message and are responsible for the gradual weakening and growing ineffectiveness of the church. Pastor John MacArthur warns: “We must resist the tendency to be absorbed by the fads and novelties of worldly thought. Our task as ambassadors of God is to present His message unamended as the exclusive message par excellence that is the power of God for salvation.” Why only one way? Because Jesus Christ is the only way to God!
