The Way to God
The Way to God
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6 (ESV)
Jesus said, “I am the Road, also the Truth, also the Life. No one gets to the Father apart from me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him. You’ve even seen him! John 14:6-7 MSG
Why is Jesus the only way to God? Is that unfair? Unjust? What about other great religions? What about upright, spiritual and God-fearing people of other faiths - other belief systems? What about good people? Will they be shut out of heaven as well?
What about people that have not been reached yet by the Gospel message? Are they just left out?
I have asked these and many other questions. I am convinced of a few things.
1. Ultimately, God is just - a just judge and that this loaded and sensitive matter is in the best hands - if there are ANY grey areas.
2. For those who have heard or read the Gospel message, Jesus is who He said He is (and was) - God with us, Emmanuel and the Saviour of mankind. There is hope through Christ for all who come to Him in humility, repentance and seeking forgiveness - and believe in Him as Saviour.
3. Jesus proved He was from the Father and was the only Son of the Father. He taught with authority, promising new life and then demonstrated this by signs and miracles - forgiving, bringing hope and healing.
4. He provided all the necessary evidence by predicting His own death and resurrection. By rising from the dead he proved that he was God in the flesh - with the power to raise people from the dead and judge us all when the time comes.
5. Now after all my searching and questions, I know that Jesus is NOT a liar, lunatic, or good prophet, but the Lord of All.
6. I believe Jesus is “The way, and the truth, and the life." And that "No one comes to the Father except through Christ." John 14:6
What do you believe? You have the choice. Believe your own truth or believe the revealed Christ and be born again!
