The Life

“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:3 ESV)

Names of God

God has many names and titles in the Bible. Each one tells us something important about Him—His character and how He relates to us. And how we must relate to Him. Here is another one of His many Names, which is The Life.

Jesus is The Life

“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)

In Jesus was life

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God … In Him was life, and the life was the light of men … And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us …” (John 1:1, 4, 14)

The Spirit gives life

“It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.” (John 6:63)

Jesus has the words of eternal life

“But Simon Peter answered Him, ‘Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.’” (John 6:68)

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)
