Like it or not, Jesus said that He is.
John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
At first, I hated this passage, because I felt that it was totally unfair! But as time went on, I realized that truly only God Himself could ever make the full payment for our sins, completely and once and for all! In actuality, it makes perfect sense.
Let me give you an example:
If I am making the perfect cake, I only want to use the best and only pure ingredients for my recipe. If I used inferior ingredients, the cake would not be perfect. What if I added a drop of gasoline to the frosting, would the cake still be perfect? Would it taste like a perfect cake? No! If only perfect ingredients can go into making the perfect cake, how could I, someone that is imperfect, ever add to the sacrifice of Christ to pay a price of such cost? The sacrifice had to be perfect, and yet Jesus is the only perfect human to ever walk the earth. Jesus had to pay for my sins, and yours!
What about other religions? Same thing. Since Jesus is God's Son, He is the only perfect sacrifice that could resolve the sin issue between us and God the Father. Anything else would simply not suffice. So, Jesus paid the price and paved the way, now, the only thing left is for us to accept His sacrifice on our own behalf.
