“…I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.”            John 14:6b

Jesus, the Son of God said that He is the only way to God the Father.

Notice He did not say I am “a way”. He said; I am the way.

He did not say, “It doesn’t matter what you believe as long as you are sincere.”

He did not say, “Your good deeds will be weighed against your bad deeds.”

He did not say, “Just try to be good to your neighbor and do good deeds”

He did not say, “Be baptized or join a church that pleases you”

He did not say, “Just be a good person”

Some people “believe” in Jesus just like they believe in George Washington, in a historical sense.

They believe that He lived and died and they even believe He was the Son of God.

But they have never trusted Christ.

They have never really seen themselves as needing a Saviour.

They have never understood that they are under the wrath of God.

They have never seen themselves as the enemy of God.

They have never felt the need to be reconciled to God. {Romans 5:9-11}

And they never will unless the Holy Spirit opens their understanding.

He did say that no man goes to God the Father except through Him.

But…

Suppose He is right and there is a Heaven and a Hell.

Suppose He is right and He is the only one who can forgive sins.

Suppose He is right and He truly is the only way to Heaven.

I believe He is…and I am staking my very soul on it.
