There are many things to say on this matter, but I want to finish on the wonderfulness, beauty, and freedom that comes for all Christians who know the exclusivity of Jesus Christ. Knowing that He is the only Way to God sets us free from the yoke of works. It sets us free to worship Him alone. It reveals to us that nothing can increase or decrease our standing with God, and we are free to worship Christ and Christ alone! We can finally rest that Jesus is the end of all things. It is no longer "Jesus plus anything." It is by His name we are saved; there is no other name - He is the end.
This is the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Therefore, let no other "addition" to Him of any kind disturb your conscience. Look upon John 14:6. Meditate on it. Worship God through its Truth. Realize its implications. It will set you free both from living for man's praise and from man's yoke-filled additions to Christ. Lose yourself in the truth that when all of this world passes away and you fall asleep into eternity, the only Way to God will be through Jesus Christ.
