It would seem that the Bible is saying simply that there is no other way to God other than through his Son who is God himself. That there is no other source that can bridge the space between mankind and God other than the God-man Jesus Christ. That's why God himself had to take on the human flesh and chose to sacrifice himself on a cross taking on the sins of the entire human race. Thus allowing mankind to bridge the gap between a holy God and us. NO OTHER HUMAN BEING CAN DO THAT EXCEPT GOD HIMSELF, in the form of flesh “JESUS CHRIST” 

ACTS 2 verse 21 " and anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be SAVED”.

THIS MEANS YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING, YOU HAVE TO CALL, IT DOESN’T HAPPEN BY OSMOSIS, OR INHERITANCE!!! IT’S AN EVENT, IT IS SOMETHING YOU MUST DO!!! YOU CANNOT SAY YOU WERE ALWAYS A CHRISTIAN, YOU ALWAYS KNEW GOD,  YOUR PARENTS ALWAYS TOOK YOU TO CHURCH, YOU HAVEN’T DONE ANYTHING WRONG IN YOUR LIFE, YOUR NEVER REALLY DID ANYTHING TERRIBLE LIKE SOME PEOPLE. NO! NO! NO! IT’S A CONSCIOUS DECISION AN EVENT THAT LITERALLY HAPPENS ONCE YOU REPENT AND RECOGNIZE YOU ARE A SINNER AND NEED A SAVIOR.!!!!

ACTS 13 VERSE 38 Therefore my brothers, I want you to know that through JESUS there is forgiveness for your sins. Everyone who believes in him is freed from all guilt and declared right with God. NO WORKS FROM US CAN DO THIS…IT IS BELIEF IN JESUS CHRIST, REPENTING OF OUR SINS, ASKING HIM TO COME INTO OUR HEART AND CHANGE US, AND BY faith BELIEVING THAT THIS IS POSSIBLE THROUGH HIM, AND HIM ONLY.

In Romans 1 verse 16 PAUL the apostle writing to the Roman Christians states " For I am not ashamed of the GOSPEL”....which Gospel is he referring to? THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST...... he continues " BECAUSE IT IS THE POWER OF GOD FOR THE SALVATION of everyone who believes, first for the Jews then for the Gentile”.

ROMANS 6 verse 23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD."

ROMANS 3 verse 22 "We are made right in God's sight when we trust JESUS CHRIST to take away our sins." or another quote puts it this way... "This righteousness from God comes through faith in JESUS CHRIST to all who believe".

Romans 3 verse 23-24 " For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by HIS GRACE through the redemption that came by JESUS CHRIST, (25) God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement though faith in his blood”.
