How Many Roads Lead to Heaven?

It is the false claim of many religionists today that there are many roads that lead to Heaven.  In our pluralistic society, people have been duped into believing that while there are many religious beliefs, somehow, each system of belief will eventually lead to Heaven.  Quite the contrary!  Jesus Christ, God's Son,  states emphatically in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man comes to the Father except by (through) Me."  Jesus is essentially telling us that there is only one road that leads to Heaven.  That road is Jesus Christ Himself, the One who suffered, bled and died for the sin of the world.  The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the "Good News" that Christ died, was buried, and rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-4).  To believe this Gospel and receive Christ as Savior is the only guarantee that you are on the road that leads to Heaven.  Praise the Lord!
