For Hindu Readers: Is Jesus Christ the Only Way to God?

Truth has nothing to fear from honest examination.

Thank you for taking the time to read this page.

You may have been raised in a Hindu family and taught to honor your parents, respect your ancestors, practice devotion, perform puja, visit temples, recite sacred words, pursue good karma, or seek liberation from the cycle of rebirth.

You may worship Vishnu, Krishna, Shiva, Rama, Devi, Ganesha, or another form of the divine.

You may believe that all sincere religions ultimately lead toward the same reality.

You may understand God personally, impersonally, or as the one divine reality appearing through many names and forms.

You may not consider yourself very religious at all, yet still value Hindu culture and family traditions.

This page will not assume that every Hindu believes exactly the same things.

Instead, it asks several questions that concern every human being:

Who is the true God?

Why is there evil and suffering?

What is wrong within the human heart?

Can karma or repeated lives remove moral guilt?

Who is Jesus Christ?

Is He merely one spiritual teacher among many—or the only Savior sent by God?

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
— John 14:6, KJV

Jesus did not merely claim to know one path among many.

He claimed to be the way.

That claim deserves careful examination.

Hinduism Includes Many Different Traditions

Hinduism is not built around one historical founder, one universal governing body, or one creed accepted identically by all Hindus.

Different Hindu schools may disagree about:

• Whether ultimate reality is personal or impersonal
• Whether there is one God, many gods, or one divine reality manifested in many forms
• Whether the individual soul is identical with ultimate reality or remains eternally distinct
• Which deity should receive primary devotion
• Which scriptures and teachers should receive the greatest emphasis
• Which path most effectively leads toward liberation

Some traditions emphasize spiritual knowledge.

Others emphasize devotion to a personal deity.

Others emphasize disciplined action, meditation, yoga, ritual, or a combination of paths.

We want to acknowledge that diversity rather than misrepresent Hindu people.

At the same time, several concepts are widely influential:

• Dharma: moral, spiritual, social, or religious duty
• Karma: actions and their moral consequences
• Samsara: the continuing cycle of birth, death, and rebirth
• Moksha: liberation from that cycle
• Atman: the inner self or soul
• Brahman: ultimate reality in several Hindu philosophical traditions

You may explore representative Hindu explanations here:

• Hinduism Basics — Hindu American Foundation
• Karma, Samsara, and Moksha — Hindu American Foundation
• What Is Vedanta? — Vedanta Society
• Reincarnation — ISKCON

The purpose of these links is not to suggest that one organization speaks for every Hindu. They demonstrate the range of ideas within major Hindu traditions.

Important Areas of Agreement

Hindu and biblical teachings may share certain moral concerns.

Many Hindus value:

• Prayer and devotion
• Self-control
• Compassion
• Generosity
• Respect for parents and elders
• Faithfulness to family responsibilities
• Rejection of selfishness and greed
• Spiritual discipline
• The reality of an existence beyond this physical life
• The belief that human choices have consequences

The Bible also teaches compassion, self-control, generosity, family responsibility, prayer, moral accountability, and life beyond death.

These points can provide meaningful places to begin.

But similar moral values do not prove that two religions teach the same message about God or salvation.

The deepest differences concern:

• The identity of God
• The identity of Jesus Christ
• The nature of the human problem
• Whether people live once or many times
• Whether moral guilt can be balanced through karma
• Whether human beings need enlightenment or redemption
• Whether many paths lead to God

Is Ultimate Reality Personal?

Some Hindu schools describe the highest reality as Brahman—absolute, infinite reality beyond ordinary human description.

Some understand Brahman impersonally.

Others worship a personal Supreme Being and understand other deities as manifestations, servants, or aspects of the divine.

The Bible teaches that God is infinitely greater than human understanding, but He is not an impersonal force or abstract universal consciousness.

God knows, speaks, loves, chooses, commands, judges, forgives, and enters relationships with people.

At the beginning of Scripture:

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”
— Genesis 1:1, KJV

God is not identical with the universe.

He existed before it and created it.

He speaks personally:

“I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me…”
— Isaiah 45:5, KJV

He loves personally:

“Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love…”
— Jeremiah 31:3, KJV

Jesus taught His followers to pray:

“Our Father which art in heaven…”
— Matthew 6:9, KJV

The God of the Bible is not less than personal.

He is the living Creator who made us, knows us, loves us, and holds us morally accountable.

Is God One Among Many Divine Beings?

The Bible teaches that only one true God exists.

“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD.”
— Deuteronomy 6:4, KJV

“Before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.”
— Isaiah 43:10, KJV

“I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.”
— Isaiah 44:6, KJV

God does not say that He is merely the greatest deity among many legitimate gods.

He says no other God exists.

Created spiritual beings may exist, but they are not gods worthy of worship.

The first commandment says:

“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”
— Exodus 20:3, KJV

God also commanded:

“Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image… Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them.”
— Exodus 20:4–5, KJV

The issue is not whether an image appears beautiful or helps a person concentrate.

The issue is that the Creator has told us how He must be worshipped.

Can One God Be Worshipped Through Many Forms?

Some Hindus do not understand themselves as worshipping unrelated competing gods. They may view various deities as manifestations, expressions, forms, or approaches to one ultimate divine reality.

That distinction should be acknowledged fairly.

But the Bible does not permit people to choose visible forms through which they will represent the one true God.

At Mount Sinai, Israel did not necessarily believe that the golden calf had created the universe. They used the image within worship associated with the LORD who brought them out of Egypt.

Nevertheless, God judged the act as idolatry.

Moses later explained:

“Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the LORD spake unto you…”
— Deuteronomy 4:15, KJV

He warned them not to create a likeness of male, female, animal, bird, or heavenly body for worship.

God must be worshipped according to His revelation—not through forms human beings select.

Jesus said:

“God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”
— John 4:24, KJV

Sincerity is necessary, but sincerity alone is not enough.

Worship must also be grounded in truth.

Is the Human Soul Divine?

Some Vedantic traditions teach that the true self, or Atman, is one with Brahman and that liberation involves realizing this underlying oneness.

Other Hindu schools maintain a lasting distinction between the soul and the Supreme Being.

The Bible teaches that human beings were created in God’s image:

“So God created man in his own image…”
— Genesis 1:27, KJV

Being made in God’s image gives every human being profound dignity.

But an image is not identical with the One it reflects.

We are creatures.

God is the Creator.

We depend upon Him for every breath:

“In him we live, and move, and have our being…”
— Acts 17:28, KJV

We are not fragments of God who need to discover our own divinity.

We are persons created by God who need to be reconciled to Him.

The Bible’s message is not:

“Look deeply enough within yourself and discover that you are God.”

It is:

“Turn from sin and come to the God who created you.”

Is Ignorance Humanity’s Greatest Problem?

Several Hindu philosophies understand bondage as arising primarily from spiritual ignorance—especially ignorance concerning the nature of the self and ultimate reality.

The Bible agrees that spiritual ignorance is serious.

People can be:

“Alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them…”
— Ephesians 4:18, KJV

But the Bible teaches that our problem is more than lack of knowledge.

We have sinned against a holy God.

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
— Romans 3:23, KJV

We do not merely need to awaken to our inner nature.

We need forgiveness, cleansing, reconciliation, and a new heart.

God promised:

“A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you…”
— Ezekiel 36:26, KJV

Education may change what we know.

Meditation may calm the mind.

Discipline may restrain certain desires.

But only God can forgive guilt and make the spiritually dead alive.

What Is Sin?

Sin is not merely an action that produces an impersonal karmic consequence.

Sin is rebellion against the personal God who created us.

David prayed:

“Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight…”
— Psalm 51:4, KJV

Our sins include:

• Idolatry
• Pride
• Selfishness
• Dishonesty
• Hatred
• Sexual immorality
• Greed
• Unforgiveness
• Injustice
• Failure to love God completely
• Failure to love our neighbors as ourselves

Jesus taught that sin begins within:

“For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit…”
— Mark 7:21–22, KJV

The problem is not only what surrounds us.

The problem is within us.

Can Karma Remove Guilt?

Karma is often understood as the principle that actions carry consequences, potentially affecting present circumstances and future births.

The Bible agrees that actions have consequences:

“Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”
— Galatians 6:7, KJV

But biblical moral accountability is not governed by an impersonal law operating independently of God.

God Himself judges with perfect knowledge and justice.

“So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.”
— Romans 14:12, KJV

More importantly, good actions cannot erase guilt from evil actions.

Imagine a man convicted of a serious crime.

He tells the judge:

“I committed the crime, but I have also performed many acts of kindness.”

A righteous judge cannot treat good deeds as though they make the crime disappear.

Good works are good, but they cannot transform guilt into innocence.

God says:

“The soul that sinneth, it shall die.”
— Ezekiel 18:20, KJV

We need more than improved karma.

We need mercy that remains perfectly consistent with justice.

Do We Receive Another Life to Correct Our Failures?

Hindu traditions commonly teach samsara—the continuing cycle of birth, death, and rebirth.

A person’s actions may influence the circumstances of a future birth, while spiritual liberation ends the cycle.

The Bible teaches something very different:

“It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.”
— Hebrews 9:27, KJV

We live once.

We die once.

Then we face God’s judgment.

Jesus did not teach that people return repeatedly in new bodies.

He taught bodily resurrection:

“The hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
And shall come forth…”
— John 5:28–29, KJV

Resurrection is not reincarnation.

In reincarnation, a soul receives another earthly body and continues another life.

In resurrection, the same person is raised by God to face eternal life or judgment.

Did Jesus Teach Reincarnation Through John the Baptist?

Some people claim that John the Baptist was the reincarnation of Elijah because Jesus associated John with Elijah’s promised ministry.

But Scripture says that John came:

“In the spirit and power of Elias…”
— Luke 1:17, KJV

John fulfilled a prophetic role like Elijah.

He was not Elijah reborn in another body.

When asked directly whether he was Elijah, John answered:

“I am not.”
— John 1:21, KJV

Moreover, Elijah had not died and entered a cycle of rebirth. Scripture records that God took him from the earth.

John represented Elijah’s prophetic ministry; he was not Elijah reincarnated.

Does Reincarnation Solve the Problem of Justice?

Reincarnation may appear to explain why people experience unequal circumstances.

Someone may reason that present suffering results from actions in a previous life.

But this creates serious questions:

How can suffering correct a previous wrong when the sufferer does not remember committing it?

How can anyone know which past action supposedly produced a particular tragedy?

Could belief in past-life guilt cause people to look upon suffering neighbors as merely receiving what they deserve?

The Bible rejects the assumption that every tragedy is a direct punishment for a particular personal sin.

Jesus was asked about a man born blind:

“Who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?”
— John 9:2, KJV

Jesus answered:

“Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents…”
— John 9:3, KJV

Jesus did not explain the man’s blindness through a previous life.

He rejected the assumption that the condition resulted from a specific sin by the man or his parents.

God’s justice is real, but present suffering cannot always be traced to a particular personal offense.

Does God Offer Mercy Instead of Endless Moral Payment?

Yes.

The biblical message is not that God ignores justice.

It is that God Himself provided a substitute who bore judgment for sinners.

“But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities…”
— Isaiah 53:5, KJV

Jesus Christ took upon Himself the judgment our sins deserved.

“Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree…”
— 1 Peter 2:24, KJV

At the cross, justice and mercy meet.

God does not pretend that sin is harmless.

Jesus bears its penalty so that sinners may be forgiven.

“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God…”
— 1 Peter 3:18, KJV

Notice that Christ suffered once.

Salvation does not require countless lives of moral repayment.

The righteous One died once to bring the unrighteous to God.

Who Is Jesus Christ?

Some Hindus may honor Jesus as:

• A holy teacher
• A guru
• A prophet
• A spiritually enlightened person
• An incarnation or manifestation of the divine
• One savior among many

But Jesus did not present Himself as one enlightened teacher within a larger spiritual system.

He said:

“Before Abraham was, I am.”
— John 8:58, KJV

He claimed existence before His human birth.

John wrote:

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
— John 1:1, KJV

The eternal Word became human:

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…”
— John 1:14, KJV

Jesus is not one soul progressing toward enlightenment.

He is the eternal Word through whom all things were created.

“All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.”
— John 1:3, KJV

Is Jesus One Avatar Among Many?

Several Hindu traditions speak of divine avatars—manifestations or descents of deity into the world.

A Hindu reader may therefore attempt to include Jesus within that familiar category.

But the Bible does not present Jesus as one recurring divine manifestation among many.

Jesus entered history once in fulfillment of specific prophecies.

He became truly human while remaining who He eternally is.

He died once for sin:

“So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many…”
— Hebrews 9:28, KJV

He rose bodily and will return personally.

He does not repeatedly appear as different religious figures in different ages.

Scripture says:

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.”
— Hebrews 13:8, KJV

Jesus’ identity cannot be blended into teachings that contradict what He said about God, sin, death, judgment, and salvation.

Did Jesus Claim to Be the Only Way?

Yes.

“I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
— John 14:6, KJV

Jesus did not say:

“I am one expression of a truth also available through many unrelated paths.”

He said no one comes to the Father except through Him.

Peter proclaimed:

“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”
— Acts 4:12, KJV

Paul wrote:

“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”
— 1 Timothy 2:5, KJV

One God.

One Mediator.

One saving name.

This is exclusive, but it is not restricted to one ethnicity, nation, caste, or social class.

Jesus is the only Savior offered freely to everyone.

Do All Religions Lead to the Same Destination?

Different religions make contradictory claims.

One says people live many earthly lives.

Another says we live once and then face judgment.

One says the self is ultimately one with absolute reality.

Another says people remain eternally distinct from their Creator.

One worships many divine forms.

Another says worshipping any being besides the one true God is idolatry.

One says Jesus is a teacher or avatar.

Jesus says He is the only way to the Father.

Contradictory claims cannot all be true in the same sense.

It may sound kind to say that every road reaches the same destination, but kindness cannot make contradictions disappear.

Truth matters because eternity matters.

Why Should Jesus Be Believed?

Jesus did not merely make extraordinary claims.

His life provided evidence supporting them.

He:

• Fulfilled prophecies written centuries before His birth
• Lived without sin
• Healed the sick
• Gave sight to the blind
• Exercised authority over nature
• Commanded demons
• Forgave sins
• Predicted His own death
• Predicted His resurrection
• Was crucified publicly
• Rose bodily from the dead
• Appeared to numerous witnesses

He said:

“Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
— John 2:19, KJV

John explains:

“But he spake of the temple of his body.”
— John 2:21, KJV

The resurrection is God’s public confirmation that Jesus is who He claimed to be.

Jesus Defeated Death Rather Than Escaping Through Rebirth

Many spiritual systems seek liberation from repeated birth and death.

Jesus defeated death itself.

He said:

“I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.”
— John 11:25, KJV

After His resurrection, He declared:

“I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore…”
— Revelation 1:18, KJV

Jesus does not offer another opportunity through another earthly life.

He offers eternal life through union with Himself.

“He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.”
— 1 John 5:12, KJV

Is Salvation Achieved Through Spiritual Knowledge?

Knowledge matters.

We cannot trust someone we know nothing about.

But knowledge alone cannot save.

A person may understand many religious ideas and remain proud, selfish, unforgiven, and separated from God.

Paul warned:

“Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.”
— 1 Corinthians 8:1, KJV

Salvation is not realizing that we were divine all along.

It is receiving mercy from the God against whom we have sinned.

Jesus said:

“Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
— John 3:3, KJV

New birth is not self-discovery.

It is a supernatural work of God that gives spiritual life to the sinner.

Can Meditation or Yoga Reconcile Us to God?

Physical exercise, controlled breathing, quiet reflection, and disciplined attention may have practical effects upon the body or mind.

But no spiritual technique can remove guilt before God.

Peaceful feelings are not the same as peace with God.

The Bible says:

“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
— Romans 5:1, KJV

Peace with God comes through justification—being made right with Him through Christ.

Meditation may alter consciousness.

Only Jesus can reconcile us to our Creator.

“And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself…”
— Colossians 1:20, KJV

Can Devotion to a Deity Save Us?

Bhakti traditions emphasize loving devotion toward a personal deity.

Love, surrender, worship, and devotion are central biblical themes as well.

But devotion is only as sound as its object.

A sincere person may devote himself to someone who is not the true God.

The Bible does not say that every form of devotion reaches the same divine reality.

Jesus said:

“Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.”
— Matthew 4:10, KJV

God calls all people to turn from false worship to Him:

“Ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein.”
— Acts 14:15, KJV

The true God is not one chosen deity among many.

He is the living Creator of everything.

Can Good Works Earn Liberation or Heaven?

Good works matter greatly.

God commands justice, mercy, generosity, honesty, and love.

But no amount of good action can erase sin.

“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us…”
— Titus 3:5, KJV

Scripture says:

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.”
— Ephesians 2:8–9, KJV

Salvation is not a spiritual wage paid after we accumulate sufficient merit.

It is a gift purchased by Jesus Christ and received through faith.

True salvation then produces good works:

“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works…”
— Ephesians 2:10, KJV

We are not saved by good works.

We are saved unto good works.

Does Grace Encourage Sin?

No.

God’s grace does not mean that sin is unimportant.

Grace forgives and transforms.

“For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly…”
— Titus 2:11–12, KJV

A person who truly receives Christ receives a new direction in life.

Good works become the fruit of gratitude and new life—not an attempt to purchase forgiveness.

Does Christianity Teach That People May Sin and Then Escape Consequences Easily?

No.

Biblical repentance is not merely saying words while planning to continue in sin.

Jesus said:

“Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.”
— Luke 13:3, KJV

Repentance means turning from sin toward God.

True faith submits to Jesus as Lord.

Forgiveness is free to us, but it was not cheap.

It required the suffering and death of the sinless Son of God.

“For ye are bought with a price…”
— 1 Corinthians 6:20, KJV

Grace does not make sin less serious.

The cross reveals how serious sin truly is.

Why Would God Require a Sacrifice?

Because God is perfectly loving and perfectly just.

A corrupt judge may ignore crime.

A righteous judge cannot simply pretend evil never happened.

God cannot deny His holiness.

Yet because He loves sinners, He provided the sacrifice Himself.

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
— Romans 5:8, KJV

Jesus willingly gave His life:

“No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself.”
— John 10:18, KJV

At the cross:

• God’s justice was upheld.
• God’s love was revealed.
• Sin’s penalty was borne.
• Forgiveness was made available.
• The way to God was opened.

Is Jesus Only for Western People?

No.

Jesus was born in the Middle East, not Europe or America.

He was born into a Jewish family in the land of Israel.

His message is for every nation.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son…”
— John 3:16, KJV

Jesus commanded His followers:

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations…”
— Matthew 28:19, KJV

He is not the property of one culture.

The final worshipping multitude includes people:

“Of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues…”
— Revelation 7:9, KJV

Following Jesus does not require a person to become culturally Western.

It requires every person—Eastern or Western—to turn from false worship and submit to the true Lord.

Does Following Jesus Mean Rejecting Your Family?

Following Christ does not authorize disrespect toward Hindu parents or relatives.

The Bible commands:

“Honour thy father and thy mother…”
— Exodus 20:12, KJV

A person who follows Jesus should become more loving, truthful, patient, humble, and compassionate.

But honoring family does not mean placing family tradition above God.

Jesus said:

“He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me…”
— Matthew 10:37, KJV

You may face misunderstanding, rejection, or pressure.

Continue loving your family.

Do not mock their beliefs.

Do not become proud.

Pray for them.

Treat them respectfully.

But do not reject truth merely because following it may be costly.

Can Jesus Receive Someone From a Hindu Background?

Yes.

Jesus receives people from every background who genuinely come to Him.

“Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.”
— John 6:37, KJV

You do not need to be born into a Christian family.

You do not need to make yourself worthy first.

You do not need to balance all your bad actions before approaching Him.

Come honestly.

Come repentantly.

Come believing.

He came to save sinners:

“Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners…”
— 1 Timothy 1:15, KJV

What Must You Do?

1. Seek the True God Honestly

Ask the Creator to reveal Himself to you.

Pray sincerely:

“God who created me, show me who You truly are and help me follow the truth.”

2. Turn From Idolatry

God commands every person to worship Him alone.

“Little children, keep yourselves from idols.”
— 1 John 5:21, KJV

This may require removing images, rituals, prayers, or practices that direct worship toward anyone other than the true God.

3. Acknowledge Your Sin

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
— Romans 3:23, KJV

Do not compare yourself only with other people.

God’s standard is His perfect holiness.

4. Repent

Turn from sin, self-rule, false worship, and every belief that contradicts God’s revelation.

“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out…”
— Acts 3:19, KJV

5. Believe the Gospel

“Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.”
— 1 Corinthians 15:3–4, KJV

6. Receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior

“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.”
— John 1:12, KJV

7. Place Your Complete Trust in Him

Do not trust in karma, reincarnation, ritual, meditation, spiritual knowledge, personal merit, or devotion to another deity.

“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…”
— Acts 16:31, KJV

A Prayer From an Honest Heart

Repeating a prayer cannot save you. Jesus Christ saves. But you may express sincere repentance and faith in words such as these:

God who created heaven and earth, I want to know You as You truly are. I confess that I have sinned and cannot remove my guilt through karma, good works, rituals, meditation, spiritual knowledge, or repeated lives. I turn from every false god and every form of worship that dishonors You. I believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Lord who became man, died for my sins, and rose bodily from the dead. I place my complete trust in Jesus Christ as my only Lord and Savior. Forgive me, give me a new heart, fill me with Your Holy Spirit, and teach me to follow Your Word whatever it costs. In Jesus’ name, amen.

The saving power is not in repeating these exact words.

The question is whether you have genuinely turned from sin and false worship to the true God through Jesus Christ.

What Should You Do Next?

Begin reading the Bible prayerfully.

A good place to start is the Gospel of John.

As you read, ask:

Who does Jesus claim to be?

Does He present Himself as one teacher among many?

Why does He forgive sins?

Why does He receive worship?

Why does He claim existence before Abraham?

Why does He say that no one comes to the Father except through Him?

Did He truly rise from the dead?

Continue with:

• Genesis 1–3
• Psalm 19
• Psalm 51
• Isaiah 44–46
• Isaiah 53
• The Gospel of John
• Acts 17
• Romans 1–5
• 1 Corinthians 15
• Colossians 1–2
• Hebrews 9–10
• 1 John

As you study, ask:

Does the Bible teach that the universe is part of God—or that God created it?

Does Scripture teach that the human soul is God—or that we are creatures made in His image?

Does God permit worship through many visible forms?

Does karma forgive moral guilt?

Does the Bible teach repeated births—or one life followed by judgment?

Is Jesus one avatar among many—or the eternal Creator who became flesh once for our salvation?

Can many contradictory paths all be true?

Did Jesus provide the final sacrifice for sin?

Our Purpose

Our purpose is not to insult Hindu people, demean Indian culture, dishonor families, or pretend that everyone carrying a Christian label truly knows God.

Many people in churches also trust in religious traditions, moral conduct, family identity, ceremonies, or good works rather than Jesus Christ.

Every person must examine the foundation.

“Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves.”
— 2 Corinthians 13:5, KJV

Our purpose is to help every person make sure they are going to Heaven by comparing every belief with the Holy Bible.

There is one true God.

He created the universe but is not identical with it.

Human beings bear His image but are not themselves divine.

Our deepest problem is not merely ignorance.

We have sinned against our Creator.

Karma cannot forgive guilt.

Repeated earthly lives cannot save us.

Religious ritual cannot cleanse the heart.

Meditation cannot reconcile us to God.

Many contradictory paths cannot all lead to the same truth.

Jesus Christ is not one teacher or avatar among many.

He is the eternal Word through whom all things were made.

He became flesh once.

He bore our sins.

He died once.

He rose bodily from the dead.

He defeated death.

He is the one Mediator between God and humanity.

He offers forgiveness and eternal life as a gift to everyone who repents and believes.

“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”
— 1 Timothy 2:5, KJV

“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”
— Acts 4:12, KJV

“And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.”
— 1 John 5:11–12, KJV

Do not merely add Jesus to other objects of devotion. Turn from every false god, receive Jesus Christ as the only Lord and Savior, and follow Him according to His Word.
