I AM THE WAY

John 14:6

Jesus said to him, “I Am The Way, The Truth, and The Life. No one comes to The Father except through Me."

    Do you want to get close(r) to God? Jesus is The Way to do so? He is the only Way, all other ways are fruitless. God's Way, God's Word, is Faithful and True. [Revelation 22:6]

    He is The Road, The Path, by which we must all travel. He is The Way of Holiness on which our travels begin when we believe that Jesus Christ Is Lord, that His Name is our Salvation. Which, indeed, is true, for His Name--Jesus--means "He Saves". 

    Matthew 1:21

“And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His Name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins.” 

    Matthew 1:25

And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called His Name JESUS. 

    God's Eternal Presence is The Most Holy Place in the tabernacle. Only the high priest could enter there once every year and only if he met strict requirements. Jesus is our High Priest. 

    Hebrews 10:19-22

 Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter The Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, and having a High Priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 

    Jesus is The Way. 

He is The Way of Holiness. Isaiah 35:8

He is The Way of Righteousness. Psalm 116:5; Jeremiah 23:6; Malachi 4:2

He is The Way of Justification. Romans 5:9, 18

He is The Way of Sanctification. Job 23:10; Malachi 3:3

The Way of The Lord is perfect and flawless. Psalm 18:30

The Way of The Lord is Strength for the upright, but destruction for the workers of iniquity. Proverbs 10:29

The Way is narrow. Matthew 7:14

The Way is Life. John 11:25

    1 John 5:10-12

Whoever believes in The Son of God has this Testimony within him; whoever does not believe God has made Him out to be a liar, because he has not believed in The Testimony that God has given about His Son. 

And this is that Testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.

Whoever has The Son has life; whoever does not have The Son of God does not have life.

Thanks Be To God - - For His Testimony

 

Psalm 19:7

The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the Testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

Strong's Ex. Conc. No. 5715

Testimony: ordinances, warnings, witness

From the Hebrew word 'eduth' (pronounced ay-dooth')

Used 59 times in the Old Testament. 

Strong's Ex. Conc. No. 3141

Testimony: witness, reputation, evidence

From the Greek word 'marturia', (pronounced mar-too-ree'-ah)

Used 37 times in the New Testament.

Deuteronomy 4:1-6 reminds the people of God that obeying the laws which God had set up would lead them to (v1.) Live; gain entrance into the land He promised them and take possession of it. (v2) All laws must be followed, not just some of them. (v3) Reminded to remember the judgment God had against the people who did not obey His Law. (v4) They who had clung tightly to the LORD were they whom God let live. (v5) God's people had been taught the statutes and ordinances that they would follow them when they entered and possessed the land. (v6) [our primary verse here] Observe them carefully, for this will show your wisdom and understanding in the sight of the peoples, who will hear of all these statutes and say, “Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.”

Job 28:28

And He said to man, 'Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to turn away from evil is understanding."

1 John 5:9-11

9. Even if we accept human testimony, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony that God has given about His Son.

10. Whoever believes in the Son of God has this testimony within him; whoever does not believe God has made Him out to be a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given about His Son.

11. And this is that testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.

12. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

John 3:36

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever rejects the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.

John 3:14-18

14. Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,

15. that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life.

16. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

17. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

18. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

The Testimony of The LORD God is The Law Written On Stone Tablets, AND The Testimony of The LORD God is His only begotten Son Jesus Christ: The Living Word which is written on the hearts of we who believe that Jesus Christ Is LORD. 

Psalm 111:10

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do His commandments: His praise endures for ever.

Wisdom is to acknowledge that Jesus Christ is God's only begotten Son, to believe in one's heart that God sent Him to die a horrible death on the cross, thereby taking the punishment for our sins upon Himself. Wisdom is to fear the LORD, to be in awe of His majesty and His glory. And to be amazed and awestruck by His lovingkindness towards us who know we deserve no such grace, but are nonetheless very thankful that God's grace has been extended to us through His Son Jesus. 

Understanding is to repent and turn away from the evil we have done by not following God's commandments, by not believe that His Word is Faithful And True.

Understanding is to turn our backs on the sin-filled lifestyles we once lived before we accepted Christ as Lord and Savior of our lives; it is to follow the path of holiness which the Lord has laid out for us to walk in. We must simply read the Scriptures and pray about we are reading, that God would reveal to us Himself and what He wants us to know. The Book of John is a good place to start, if you are not sure where to start.

Whoever has Jesus has Life Eternal and will enter into the promised land which God has prepared for them. Whoever does not have Jesus has eternal death and will be disinherited.  

Dear God,

I am so very thankful that I answered Your call on my life. I am thankful that You tugged at my heart-strings and gently led me from a dark place into Your glorious Light. Father, forgive me of any and all unrighteous acts or words I may have misspoken this night and day. 

Lead me through Your Word to become the servant You want me to be that I may glorify Your Name in all that I say and do. May words of peace, words of hope, words of compassion and mercy, words of love flow through me into the ears and hearts of they who need to hear You. 

In Jesus' Name, I pray,
Amen
