“I am the way, the truth, the life, no one comes to the father but through me.” ~John 14:6
Today we ask an important question. Is Christ the only way to God? The answer is hard to stomach today in a world where no one wants to step on anyone’s toes or even worse, their feelings! The answer is…YES, it is only through Him that we are saved! We can acknowledge that other philosophies point to God in some ways and can reveal some truth about God, they are all incomplete at the end of the day because they do not have Christ at their center.
I always fall back on contemplating today's verse: “I am the way, the truth, the life, no one comes to the father but through me.” What did he do to become the only path to God? The answer is that He is the only Son of God and through his pure sacrifice, he reconciled humanity to God and opened the gates of Heaven again. No other religious figure, however wise or eloquent, has had the relationship required to elevate humanity and facilitate our entry into God’s presence and only by being a part of Christ can we hope to be welcomed into eternal life with a perfect God.
I share this key truth with my own sons.
Daily Battle Order: Today, thank Christ for the relationship you have with Him and the Father and for the opportunity to be with God forever in Heaven.
Say a prayer with your family for everyone who has not known the Love of Christ, that their hearts might be softened and their journey to faith might begin.
