When God Says …
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him." (John 14:6-7 KJV).
The Lord Jesus, in these passages - addressing His inner core disciples, is not anymore speaking in metaphors and parables but plainly reveals that He is God the Father Himself in the flesh. He is Emmanuel, God with us (Matthew 1:23). It is therefore existentially and consequentially serious not to disregard this truth. When you turn away from Him, the consequences are eternal and unchangeable the moment one is out of this realm to realize it.
This truth revealed here, in our present realm in the physical, is the game-changer for the life we live and gain in eternity. We only need to respond by believing in Him who is the only begotten Son of God (John 6:29) and the only way to the Father. He, whom the disciples have seen and knew. He is the way, the truth and the life! It is not the rigmaroles of religion, customs, rituals, traditions, not of indulgences and patronages of persons living and dead - serving and worshipping the creature instead of the Creator (Romans 1:25). It is not by observance of the law, which is the ministry of death (2 Corinthians 3:7).
It is only by grace through faith in Christ Jesus that we truly know Him to receive the gift of righteousness (Romans 1.17). The scripture reveals through Apostle John that:“The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.” (John 3:35-36 ESV).
And I say, AMEN!
