JESUS, THE ONLY WAY!
The word of God in John 14:6 (NKJV) empathically states,
“Jesus said to him, ‘I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. NO ONES COMES TO
THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME.’” Since I want to grow closer to Almighty God, I
have to approach God through Jesus Christ, His Son. Jesus said (paraphrased),
“No one is getting to my Father God without passing through Me.” Then the word
of God further emphasizes this fact in John 10:9 when Jesus said, “I am the
door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find
pasture.” Jesus is the doorway to SALVATION—granting me access and a personal
relationship with His Father God. One day, many, many years ago, I entered that
door that Jesus offers (to everyone) and found all that I could ever need for
growth in life and godliness, as well as experiencing God’s mercy, grace,
lovingkindness, peace, protection, health, shelter, etc., etc., etc. Having a
relation with God and Jesus Christ, my Savior and Lord, is more than amazing,
more than wonderful. It is life changing, making me a better person for my
Family and all those I encounter in my daily life. It is the greatest
experience I have ever had in my life and even though that was enough, Jesus
also promised me eternal life (John 3:15). Glory to God and to Jesus Christ for
the love they have shown me and those I love. Jesus Christ continues to be the
Way—that Open Door that leads to Almighty God’s presence. O, the Joy of finding
that Open Door!
In Revelation 3:20 Jesus is saying to you RIGHT NOW,
“Behold, I stand at the DOOR and KNOCK. If anyone hears My voice and opens the
door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.” Would you like
to experience God’s presence by inviting His Son, Jesus Christ, into your
heart? Then pray this prayer: Dear God, I believe in my heart that Jesus Christ
is Your Son. I believe that Jesus died on the cross, shed His blood, and rose
from the grave for my salvation. I confess Him right now as my Savior and Lord.
God fill me with your Holy Spirit so that I can live a life that pleases You.
In Jesus’ Name! Amen! If you prayed this prayer you are saved. Welcome to God’s
Family!
