Why Is Jesus The Only Way To Heaven?

Why did Jesus come down to earth to die on the cross? He could had said no, but He loved us so much that He was willing to come and die. It was our only hope for eternal life. There was no other way for forgiveness of sin.
John; 3:16
(For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.)
God hates sin, but He loves us even though we are sinners.
Romans; 3:23
(for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,)
There is not one of us who is without sin.

Why can't I just do good works here on earth and work my way into Heaven?
Ephesians; 2:8-9
(For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.)

Are you sure that I have to go through Jesus to get to Heaven?
John; 3:17
("For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.)
Acts; 4:12
("And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.")
John; 14:6
(Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.)
1John; 5:11-12
(And the testimony is this, that God has given to 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.)

What must we do then to be saved? You must believe that Jesus is who He says He is and that He will save all who come to Him for salvation. You must confess that you are a sinner and repent of your sins. God loves us and He doesn't want any of us to perish, but we must believe in His Son Jesus to be saved.
Romans; 10:9-10
(that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.)
Jesus is the Shepherd, we are His sheep, He will protect and save us.
John; 10:27-28
("My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand.)

Put your trust and faith in Jesus today. Don't listen to what the world says. He is the only true God and Savior. There are many false prophets out there saying they have the way to eternal life, but Jesus who created everything that exist, including you and me, He says He is the only way to eternal life. I put my faith in Jesus Christ for eternal life. You can do the same and know that you have eternal life in Him. You may never get another chance to accept Him as Savior. Do it today.

God Bless You!
