Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6

Wisdom

Jesus is the only Son of the true and living God. God the Father created himself in the flesh through the Virgin Mary. He placed His holy spirit in her egg and birthed Jesus. He is the visible image of the invisible God.

He sent Jesus into the world to save us from our sin. He was the ultimate sacrifice for sins. Whoever believes in Him will not perish but will have everlasting life and go unto heaven where the Father is. Once we believe, the blood that he shed will wash us clean. He would remember our sins no more.

But if you don’t believe you are condemned to hell. For you have no one to atone for your sins. For we sin against God alone, because it is He who made us all and not we ourselves. We will all be judged by his rules. By his rules, we understand that we are all sinners. We need a savior because no flesh can do all his Laws their whole life.

And if we say we have no sin, we make Him a liar, and the truth is not in us. Jesus alone was able to live this life with no sin. He died on the cross. He buried the laws of sin in himself and came back to life. He did this to free us from the laws of sin. Then he ascended into heaven.

Wisdom Cont..

It is by grace through faith in Him that we are saved. We believe in our hearts that he is lord. We confess with our tongues. He will then seal us with the Holy Spirit of promise. This will allow us to walk in his spirit. As a result, we do not walk in our sinful flesh.

Then get baptized, and the baptism that we perform is mimicking his death, burial, and resurrection unto new life. Dying to our old life of sin and coming into new life where we dedicate ourselves to serving Him. He alone has the power to save.

His name alone is the only name by which we can be saved, nothing or no one else. No other god, no other being, no other person. He died to free us. He has the keys to death and hell. He decides who lives and who dies. As he himself said, No one can come to the Father except through Him.
