1. THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN

2. THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN
Acts 4:8-12
8
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit,
said to them: “Rulers and elders of the
people! 9
If we are being called to
account today for an act of kindness
shown to a man who was lame and are
being asked how he was healed, 10
then
know this, you and all the people of
Israel: …

3. THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN
Acts 4:8-12
… It is by the name of Jesus Christ of
Nazareth, whom you crucified but
whom God raised from the dead, that
this man stands before you healed.11
Jesus is “‘the stone you builders
rejected, which has become the
cornerstone.’ 12
Salvation is found in no
one else, for there is no other name
under heaven given to mankind by

4. THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN
Salvation is the most important
issue facing man.

5. THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE SAVED?
It means to have our sins (which are
violations of God’s law, and offences
against His person) forgiven,
to be reconciled to God,
and to have citizenship in heaven.

6. THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN
Romans 3:23-24
23
… for all have sinned and fall short of
the glory of God, 24
and all are justified
freely by his grace through the
redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

7. THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO NOT BE
SAVED?
It means to be under the guilt of your
sin, separated from God,
and destined for hell, the place of outer
darkness where there is weeping and
gnashing of teeth, forever!

8. THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN
I. This is the Stone which was rejected
by you builders…
Psalm 118:22
22
The stone the builders rejected has
become the cornerstone

9. THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN
I. This is the Stone which was rejected
by you builders…
II. Neither is there salvation in any
other…

10. THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN
Anyone who knows anything
about any religion knows that
all religions do not teach the
same thing!

11. THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN
“It is really ludicrous to suppose that all
religions lead to God, when Buddhism does
not believe that there is any God at all,
when Islam makes him so far removed,
when Hinduism offers extinction after
many incarnations and in the meantime
sanctions idolatry on a massive scale. How
can all religions lead to God when they
have such different beliefs about God, the
afterlife and how one can attain it”?
DR. M. GREEN

12. THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN
Jesus stands alone as the one
who claimed to be the savior of
the world.

13. THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN
“Neither is there salvation in
any other…”

14. THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN
I. This is the Stone which was rejected
by you builders…
II. Neither is there salvation in any
other…
III. No other name under heaven given
among men, by which we must be
saved.

15. THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN
Matthew 11:27
27
“All things have been committed to me
by my Father. No one knows the Son
except the Father, and no one knows
the Father except the Son and those to
whom the Son chooses to reveal him.

16. THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN
John 14:6
6
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the
truth and the life. No one comes to the
Father except through me.

17. THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN
John 17:3
3
Now this is eternal life: that they know
you, the only true God, and Jesus
Christ, whom you have sent.

18. THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN
Philippians 2:5-11
5
In your relationships with one another,
have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
6
Who, being in very nature God, did not
consider equality with God something
to be used to his own advantage; 7
rather, he made himself nothing by
taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness...

19. THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN
Philippians 2:5-11
...8
And being found in appearance as a
man, he humbled himself by becoming
obedient to death — even death on a
cross! 9
Therefore God exalted him to
the highest place and gave him the
name that is above every name,…

20. THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN
Philippians 2:5-11
...10
that at the name of Jesus every knee
should bow, in heaven and on earth
and under the earth, 11
and every
tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ
is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

21. THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN
Isaiah 43:11
‘I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me
there is no savior.’

22. THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN
Matthew 1:21
21
She will give birth to a son, and you are
to give him the name Jesus, because he
will save his people from their sins.”

23. THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN
Jesus Christ of Nazareth…
whom God raised from the dead.

24. THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN
We can rest assured of the facts about
Christ because:
1.Prophets predicted it.
2.Apostles witnessed it.
3.History confirms it.

25. THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN
Hebrews 4:14-16
14
Therefore, since we have a great high
priest who has ascended into heaven,
Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly
to the faith we profess. 15
For we do not
have a high priest who is unable to
empathize with our weaknesses, but
we have one who has been tempted in
every way,…

26. THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN
Hebrews 4:14-16
… just as we are—yet he did not sin. 16
Let
us then approach God’s throne of
grace with confidence, so that we may
receive mercy and find grace to help us
in our time of need.

27. THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN
DO YOU BELIEVE IT?
