I have a different opinion on this matter. It seems that people today do not fully understand the true gospel. It is difficult to believe that someone could come to Christ without a clear understanding of the gospel. As Paul advises, it is important to preach a gospel that aligns with his teachings, as those who follow a false gospel will ultimately be destroyed.
Allow me to share with you the truth from the gospel. According to Jesus, He is the only path to reach the Father, and no other means can lead to the Father. Jesus is the heart and pulse of the only path that leads to the truth.
John 14:6
Jesus *said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.
This verse alone speaks of who Jesus is; at the beginning of John’s writings he speaks of the Holy Spirit telling him who Jesus is, now notice I said is in the present and not the past alone.
Before I continue, it may be helpful to outline Jesus’s three perspectives regarding His identity.
The Way
The Truth
The Life
Jesus came as a mortal man, He achieved immortality through death. Understanding this is crucial, as it can hinder your spiritual growth if not grasped properly. God is eternal and has always existed. He did not need to take on flesh. However, He provided us with a way to the Father by doing so, to all who accept Him as their Lord and Savior. That is the purpose of the way. According to God’s words, we must sacrifice our desires and prepare to confront physical death when the time comes. In order for us to gain our immortal bodies. Now I want to be very clear here, this will call on you to make a decision between what is morally right or wrong.
It seems that in today’s world, anything that goes against the prevailing narrative is automatically labeled as evil. However, this perspective is misguided and counterproductive. Today’s society promotes fulfilling our physical desires, but God instructs us to resist those urges. The world pressures us to conform to their ways and indulge in our temptations. God is very clear that the world will hate you for it hated me first because I revealed to them that their ways are evil and do not line up with minds. I will now provide you with some verses with added notes to show you, God’s words.
And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.
The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify about it that its works are evil.
You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
In James 4:4, God addresses the church, referring to them as His bride. He expresses disappointment in their behavior, referring to them as adulterous people. Despite His efforts to guide them toward salvation, they continue to prioritize worldly desires over their devotion to God.
This verse will show you that Jesus always existed.
John 1:1
In the beginning, was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
My favorite thing is His truth. Some people believe they can have their own version of the truth,
but I disagree. God tells us that the truth belongs to Him.
John 1:14
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 8:32
And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
John 16:13
When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.
John 17:17
Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.
Just to help put things into proper context, John 17:17 says your word is truth who is the word? That is correct I said who is the word? Jesus tells us that he is the word that became flesh so we may have the truth. This is who Truth is, it is in Jesus, and in Him, there are no lies for He cannot lie. So I will provide some verses that will show in His own words that He does not lie.
Numbers 23:19
God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?
Hebrews 6:18
So that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us.
1 Samuel 15:29
And also the Glory of Israel will not lie or have regret, for he is not a man, that he should have regret.”
Malachi 3:6
“For I the Lord do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed.
Titus 1:2
In hope of eternal life, which God, who never lies, promised before the ages began
This is Jesus, and this is who He is. He embodies truth and cannot be associated with any falsehoods. Being the creator of everything, there is no reason for Him to embrace deceit. It is said that everything was created for Him and by Him, emphasizing that the ultimate truth lies beyond human existence. Just like God’s truth always existed this stands outside of time and belongs solely to Jesus.
Numbers are a reliable aspect of truth, unchanging like God. One plus one always equals two, and two plus two always equals four. Truth is truth, no matter what the new science says about this matter.
So now you know the meaning of true life which Jesus provides. Jesus states three things. He is the way, the truth, and the life. By analyzing these three statements, it is evident that Jesus holds the highest authority. Consequently, I have concluded to adhere to Jesus’s guidance instead of the opinions of others.
The life you will attain by following me is eternal. When you committed to me and were born again, God brought you closer to Him and granted you the Holy Spirit as your helper. This is the spirit Jesus said He will send to all once you believe.
If you take a closer look, it becomes apparent that these are the things that the world and many people who identify as Christians are denying. Some individuals reject the truth of God and seek to eliminate the Bible, which is considered to be the word made flesh and the path to salvation and true life. Ultimately, they deny the way.
And as always may whoever passes through my site be richly blessed by the most High God.
Thank you and God bless.
