The Way, The Truth and The Life

How can we know the Way?

And Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. (John 14:6)

There is no other way to God, the Father, but through His Son Jesus Christ. This was the final and ultimate way that God used to restore us back to Him.

The previous methods were through the sacrifice of pure animals and through the nation of Israel whom God chose to lead the gentiles back to Him.

Those methods failed so God decided to do the job Himself through the manifestation of His Son.

Christ’s sacrificial death and resurrection atoned for our sins and gave us new life.

By confessing our sins and believing on the Lord Jesus Christ we will be saved and can enter into the Holy place before God – the Father

This is the sure way that you can accept and follow.

What and who is the Truth

The Word of God is true and sanctification comes through the truth of God’s Word.

The Word was in the beginning and it became flesh and came into the world.

The Word was Jesus Christ who came into the world to give us sanctification.

This Word was the true light.

That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world. (John 1:9)

Jesus is truth and He is a God of truth.

He is the Rock, His work is perfect; for all His ways are justice, A God of truth and without injustice; Righteous and upright is He (Deuteronomy 32:4)

Who is the Life?

The Lord Jesus Christ is Life.

In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. (John 1:4)

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)

But whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.” (John 4:14)

And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst. (John 6:35)

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” (John 11:25-26)

You have a Choice!

The Lord chose us from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth of the Lord Jesus Christ.

If you are not saved and you are reading these words, it means that God has chosen you for sanctification.

Therefore, make a choice and choose the way of truth and life.

Choose the Lord Jesus Christ because God’s desire is for everyone to be saved and come to knowledge of our Lord and Saviour.

Everything in this world begins with God, is based on God, it continues with God, and ends with God but He Himself is forever.
