“How can we know the way?”
This was the question on the heart of the disciples and especially
Thomas. Jesus had just told them about His Father’s House and that
one day they too, could go to Heaven. The one word that captured
their mind was, “How?”
-John14:5
“Jesus
saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto
the Father, but by me.” -John14:6
The Bible
records many miracles that Jesus performed while on earth. Yet
that is not the reason that He came.
“The Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.” -1 John 4:14
Dear friend, Jesus
Christ is truly the
Way to God.
In John 3:16, God
says He loves you so much that
He
gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not
perish, but have everlasting life.”
The
Truth is you
need God’s
Way to Heaven
because you are not good enough to get there on your own. The
Bible tells us that everyone is guilty of sin.
“For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” Romans
3:23
Not only are
we all sinners, but there is a payment that must be made for our sin.
“For
the wages of sin is death.” -Roman 6:23
We needed a perfect
substitute to take our place and pay our debt. Jesus Christ did
just that when He died on the cross.
“But God commendeth [demonstrated] His love toward us, in that, while we
yet sinners, Christ died for us.” -Romans 5:8
Jesus bought
salvation with His own blood. As a receipt that God accepted His
payment, He was
“declared
to be the Son of God with power, by the resurrection from the dead.”
-Romans 1:4
Jesus Christ
was crucified, buried and rose again victorious over death, hell and the
grave...just for you.
The
Life that is
offered in Jesus Christ is eternal, abundant and free! Romans 6:23
also says,
“...the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
God offers us
eternal life in Heaven if we will accept His Son, Jesus Christ, as our
Saviour. It’s free, can do nothing to earn it, all we can do is
accept it!
This is what you must do to receive Christ as your Saviour…
1. 1.
Recognise that
you are a sinner.
“For there is not a just man upon the earth, that doeth good and sinneth
not.” Ecclesiastes 7:20
2. Believe with all
your heart that Jesus Christ died for you and rose again, just as the
Bible says.
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt
believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou
shalt be saved.” -Romans 10:9
3. 3.
Pray and
receive Christ by faith as your personal Saviour.
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Romans 10:13
Call upon the name of
the Lord today.
