Let’s begin by reading 1 John 5:12 which says, “He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.”  This is very clear, isn’t it?  If one has the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ as his/her savior, that person has eternal life.  We also read in John 5:24, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”  This is a glorious promise from the Lord, Himself.  If we believe on Him, He gives us eternal life.  If we do not have the Son, if we do not believe on Him as our savior, we do not have life.  We are not passed from death to life.  Without Christ, we are spiritually dead.  We read the words of the Lord in John 8:24, “I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

Let’s continue reading and see what the Lord says in John 14:6, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”  Here, the Lord states emphatically that there is only ONE WAY to Heaven, there is only ONE WAY of salvation, there is only ONE WAY to the Father…and that is through Him.  In relating to all that He is the one and only way of salvation, the Lord declared that He is the “bread of life” (John 6:35), He is the “light of the world” (John 8:12), He is “the door” (John 10:9), He is the “good shepherd” (John 10:11), He is the “resurrection and the life” (John 11:25), He is the “true vine” (John 15:1), He is the “root and the offspring of David and the bright and morning star” (Revelation 22:16). 

I point all these out to show clearly that the Lord Jesus Christ is the ONLY WAY of salvation.  To follow ANYTHING or ANYONE other than Him will result in an eternity in Hell.  How great is the Lord’s love for us that He would give His life for us so that we might be saved!  The Lord said in John 14:3, “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.”  The Lord Jesus went to the cross to die for us and to make us fit for Heaven.  He promised that He would come again to get us so that we might live forever in Heaven with Him.  What an amazing thought…the Lord wants us to be with him in Glory!  He is the way.  He is the only way, and He gladly receives all those who come to Him for salvation.  He said in John 6:37, “…him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.”  Have you trusted in the Lord Jesus as your savior?  Do you realize He is the way and there is no other way but Him?  (CC)  (624.4)
