Theology shouldn't be confusing. God gave information about himself as "Revelation"-- He WANTS us to know Him. Jesus said it was so simple that we have to become like little children to understand it. In simple language, the important thing is this:
"You shall LOVE the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind; ...and your neighbor as yourself." (Matthew 22:37-40)
All the rest of Theology hangs on this. The LOVE we need (but do not have) is engendered in us by an appreciation of who God is. When we see how greatly He loves us, we can't help but respond: "He who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him." (Hebrews 11:6) Those who seek will certainly find that Jesus is the only way to God, because He came and made Peace with God on the Cross.
This appreciation of God's gift of Eternal Life comes from the Holy Spirit, who gives us understanding. (John 16:13) His usual means is the Word of God, the Bible: "Faith cometh by hearing; and hearing by the Word of Christ." (Romans 10:17)
