John 14-6.



There is no other way to have a right relationship with the living God other than through union with his Son, Jesus Christ. We cannot approach God trusting in our own goodness, morality, sincere religious feelings, baptism, communion or outward profession. All these things are worthless outside of the radical transformation wrought by the power of the Spirit of God when we are born again and trust, believe, repent and commit ourselves to the only one who has power to save, Jesus - the Christ.

He is "the way" to the Father: all other ways lead to destruction and Hell. He is "the truth" embodied in human flesh - the fullness of the Godhead and the exact representation of the person of God. He is "the life" - who alone has immortality and who is, in his own person, "life." He is the fountain of eternal life of which we are called to drink - that we might have life - and that abundantly in the knowledge of God.

Do not be deceived, God is not interested in your sincerity, your morality, your church attendance or your Bible reading if you have not trusted in the person of Jesus Christ the Lord!
