exclusive.

  There is only one way to God, and that is through Christ. There are no loopholes, no exceptions. In John 14:6 we read, "Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.""
  It seems hard that Christianity is the only way to the Father. God created all these souls and many are destined to eternity under His wrath simply because they will not come to Him the way He wants them to come. In a human-centered universe, those questions are completely understandable. The world is not man-centric, however. As God's creation, we cannot understand His mind. The things He does go beyond our comprehension. It is then we can do nothing but trust in Him. Trust that He is good and that He will work all things out.
  Man ought to not question why Christianity is exclusive, why God only provided one way to have a relationship with Him. Instead, the question asked should be, why does God provide a way of salvation for mankind at all? Man who has broken His laws and spat in His face and disregarded Him as the ultimate ruler. Yet, God loves His humble creation and provided for them, for us, a way of escape when we do not deserve it. Yes, Christianity is exclusive, but the fact God even allows humanity to come to him as their Father is a miracle.
