ONE WAY
Salvation Series: Lesson 3
It’s been said that, “there are many ways to get to God.” “There
are many ways in which man would be saved.” Is this true? Let’s look at
what the Bible says about this subject.
1. JESUS IS THE ONLY SAVIOR SENT BY THE FATHER TO SAVE MANKIND
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that
whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
John 3:16
2. JESUS IS THE ONLY PERSON WHO DIED ON THE CROSS FOR OUR SINS
“He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to
sins and live for righteousness…”
1 Peter 2:24a
3. JESUS IS THE ONLY NAME GIVEN UNDER HEAVEN WHEREBY WE WILL
BE SAVED
“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven
given to men by which we must be saved.”
Acts 4:12
4. JESUS IS THE ONLY MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MAN
“For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man
Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men – the testimony
given in its proper time.”
1 Timothy 2:5-6
5. JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO THE FATHER
“ Jesus answered, “ I am the way and the truth and the life. No one can
come to the Father except through me.”
John 14:6
6. JESUS IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN GIVE US THE RIGHT TO BECOME A
CHILD OF GOD
“Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave
the right to become children of God—children born not of natural descent,
nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.”
John 1:12-13
7. JESUS IS THE ONLY SOURCE OF ETERNAL LIFE
“And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in
his Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God
does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of
the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.”
1 John 5:11-13
As we have read in the passages above, it is clearly established that there is
only one way to God and that is JESUS CHRIST! He is the only source of
forgiveness, salvation and eternal life. He is the only one who can connect
us back to the Father. He is the ONLY WAY.
 5 STEPS OF RECEIVING SALVATION
1. Accept That You Are a Sinner (Humble Yourself Before God)
“If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in
us. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his
word has no place in our lives.”
1 John 1:8, 10
2. Ask God for Forgiveness (Confess Your Sins to God)
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins
and purify us from all unrighteousness. “
1 John 1:9
5. Receive Christ as Lord in your heart (Commit)
“ So then, just as you have received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in
him”
Colossians 2:6
“That if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord’, and believe in your
heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with
your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that
you confess and are saved.”
Romans 10:9-10

3. Forsake Your Sin (Repent)

“Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn APPLICATION QUESTIONS:
to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him and to our God, for he will freely 1. Are you ready to repent from your sins and commit your life to
pardon.” Isaiah 55:7 the Lord?
2. Are you ready to receive His grace, forgiveness and His free gift
4. Believe That the Lord Can Save You by His Grace (Faith) of eternal life?
3. Are you ready to live for Him starting today? Are you willing to
“ For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.” Titus accept Him as Lord
2:11

“But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us
alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions - it is by grace
you have been saved.”
Ephesians 2:4-5

 Grace means favor received that which is or was not earned. We

deserved death because of our sins but instead God gave us life in
Christ Jesus (Romans 6:23; 1 John 5:11-13).

 GRACE can be an acronym for God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense. We

have been saved by the grace of God through faith in Christ Jesus and
not by ourselves or by our good works. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
