Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
John 14:6
Jesus also said,
“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.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.”
John 3:16-18.
In a nutshell the above verses from the gospel of John state what Christians believe. We believe the only way to heaven is to believe that Jesus is the one and only Son of God. That he came to earth to die for our sins, that he rose from the dead, walked on the earth and that he ascended into heaven.
The Apostles creed while not wrote by the apostles of Jesus states what all Christians believe.
APOSTLES' CREED
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty.
From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic* church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
(*that is, the true Christian church of all times and all places)
It is up to you the reader whether you believe it or not.
Please think about it.
