Christianity is the only true way to God. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the GIFT of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Jesus paid our sin debt in full so we can never be condemned again. John 3:18.
All religions have laws that you must obey for eternal life. We have eternal life now because it is a free gift from God.
John 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me, HATH EVERLASTING LIFE.
We receive the free gift by faith alone apart from works. Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace ye are saved, through FAITH, and that not of yourselves, it is the GIFT of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. You can not boast in free.
Romans 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him who justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
At the moment of faith in Jesus, He imputes His perfect righteousness to us, and will no more impute sin to our account
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, everybody, that HE gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, that WHOSOEVER, believeth in Him, should not perish, but HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.
The only requirement for salvation is to accept the free gift of God. Salvation is done, not do.
Religion is man trying to save himself. Christianity is God reaching down to man to offer him the free gift of eternal life by a one time faith alone in Jesus alone apart from works
The free gift of eternal life is good news. Paid in full by Jesus life, death, and resurrection.
First John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that BELIEVE on the name of the Son of God, that ye may KNOW YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. We have Gods word, and He can not lie. John 3:18 John 3:16. First John 2:2.
