We live in a world which claims that there are no rights and no wrongs, so for the Christian to say that there is only one way to approach God is regarded as the worst kind of intellectual arrogance.
But in reality we live our lives by the idea that there are right ways and wrong ways of doing things. So if you were to meet royalty how would you dress? Jeans and T-shirt? I don't think so. Would you stand chewing gum with hands defensively folded across your chest or thrust deep into your pockets? Again I don't think so. In fact I imagine you'd be politely told how to behave, how to stand, how to talk etc...
We accept this as normal after all we are meeting royalty. But for some reason people think that doesn't apply when it comes to how we approach God, the idea that God sent his Son to reveal to us how we should approach him is regard as wrong, as being too limited.
But surely the right response is just to be amazed at God's love that he would do that for us, let alone send his Son to pay the price for our rebellion and be the very way he comes to reveal.
