Jesus is the way

“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6 NIV)

There is salvation in no one else

“And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12 ESV)

Jesus is the mediator between man and God

“For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” (1 Tim. 2:5 ESV)

Jesus is the door

“I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture.” (John 10:9 ESV) 

Jesus is the narrow gate”

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.” (Matt. 7:13 NIV)

You’re not condemned if you believe in the Son of God

“Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.” (John 3:18 ESV)

Therefore

“And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.” (1 John 5:11-12 ESV)

Jesus is the way!

“Jesus told him, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'” (John 14:6 NLT)

According to Jesus, he is three things:

  1. The way: that is, the way by which those must get to heaven who will ever come there.

  2. The truth: Truth is that which is consistent with the mind, will, character, glory, and being of God. Jesus is the source of truth, who originates and communicates truth for the salvation of men. “And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:32 NLT)

  3. The life: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die.” (John 11:25 NIV)

Jesus made a straight forward statement!

“No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

He didn’t say he is “a way” He said He is “the way.” He is in fact the only way! You cannot get to God any other way except through Jesus Christ! But, the good news promise is that “whosoever” (anyone) may come freely.

“whosoever believes in him should not perish but shall have everlasting life.” (John 3:16 KJV)

You will be saved!

“If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, ‘Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.’ For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, ‘Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’” (Rom. 10:9-13 NIV)
