“Jesus saith…I am the way…no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”~ Jn. 14:6
You can fume, foam at the mouth, finagle, and fight it all you want, but Jesus Christ said there was only ONE WAY to God and heaven, and that is through and by Him!
This is seen throughout scripture. There was only one way into the Ark; one way to enter the Tabernacle; one way into the sheepcote. There was only One Door to enter them by, and Jesus said, “I am the door.” He went on to tell us anyone attempting to enter any other way was a thief and robber.~ Jn. 10
The Old Testament priest, the advocate John speaks of, the mediator Paul mentions, and the daysman Job refers to, all had one thing in common: they brought two factional parties who were at odds with one another, together. Jesus, in type, represents all four of these men.
No unbiased soul can read the book of Hebrews without at once being aware of God’s oneness, singleness, concerning salvation. And it centers around this one person, Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son. Whoever bypasses this One Way forfeits God, eternal life, heaven, and all that is good and holy. He loses eternal bliss.
Paul did not say, “For ye are all the children of God,” period. But he did say, “For ye are all the children of God BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS.” PERIOD!
Oh, my friend, if you have not received Him by faith, “…now is the accepted time," say the scriptures.
“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”~ Jn. 1:12-13
There are only two kinds of children in this world. “In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil.”1 Jn. 3:10~
Amen!!
