John 14:6
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
There is a lot of Bible Doctrine in John 14:6. This is Jesus speaking.
“I Am” is the Title for God. Jesus is saying that he is God.
“The Truth.” The Truth is what is real and Honest. If you correctly recount something you did than you are telling the Truth for example. More on the Truth later.
Ephesians 4:21
“21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:”
Jesus is the Truth. When a Person is open minded and they hear the Truth of Jesus from the Scriptures taught to them they will Accept Jesus and get Saved.
The Entire Passage:
Ephesians 4:
17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
These Gentiles (Exactly like people today.) Rejected Jesus. They are Ignorant and Vain. They are their own gods walking in their own truths they have created in their Blind Hearts.
They have Rejected the Truth they were told from the Scriptures about Jesus. Jesus the Way the Truth and the Life.
Once a person has completely Rejected Jesus they turn their Lives over to Sin.
Directions for Christians:
Ephesians 4:
20 But ye have not so learned Christ;
21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
“The Life” This is Jesus saying that he created the Heavens and the Earth and all the Life in the Heavens and the Earth. Again Jesus is saying that he is God.
John 1:
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
“No man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
Jesus is the ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN. Salvation is Through Jesus ONLY.
1st Corinthians 15:
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
A person is Saved by Believing the Gospel only for their Salvation. Jesus as God became a human. He Lived a Perfect Sinless Life. He laid down his Life to Save mankind. Jesus Died, was Buried and he Rose from the Dead 3 days later to pay the Penalty for all of the Sins of the Human Race.
The Truth:
Jesus affirmed that He is the Truth. Not a Truth, not one of the Truths. Jesus is the only Truth. Meaning no one else can determine what is Right what is Wrong. What is True (Right) is the opposite of what is Wrong. Jesus is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He will judge the entire world. Because no one else can. No one else is the Truth.
Deuteronomy 32:
3 Because I will publish the name of the Lord: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
Verse 4 is a direct reference to Jesus the Rock in 1st Corinthians 10:4
“And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.”
We see Jesus as God clearly in the Old Testament. Deuteronomy chapter 32 and 1 Corinthians chapter 10 speak of Jesus being God. The Rock, The Truth.
The entire passage:
1st Corinthians 10:
1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
Again, Jesus right here is God in the Old Testament. The people in the Old Testament knew of Jesus as God. Moses taught them about Jesus. Spiritual meat is the Scriptures. The children of Israel the Jews were taught the Scriptures by Moses. In these Scriptures they were taught that Jesus is God that would Die for the Sins of the World.
Spiritual meat is the Scriptures:
Hebrews 5:
12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
1st Corinthians 10:
5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
1st Corinthians Chapter 10 explains that Jesus was known as God the Rock in the Old Testament. That the Scriptures were written to Teach us God’s Truth.
How the children of Israel rejected God and many were killed by serpents because of their Sins. God Hates Sin. Sin always has consequences in this Life.
People Go to Hell because they Hate the Truth (Jesus). People do not rage with Anger when someone says or teaches about Allah, Krishna, Radha,RamaSita, Shiva, Durga, gods of other Religions. I do not hear people using other Religion’s gods as swear words.
No, the Hate and Anger people have is directed at Jesus, his Deity, Jesus as God. I have to turn off Movies and TV because many Movies and TV shows are constantly saying: “G_d Dammit.” “Jesus Christ” as swear words. TV and movies do not curse other Religions gods.
Jesus / Christianity is Hated because it exposes the Truth.
What Truth? That we are Sinners that deserve to go to Hell.
People do not want to be told how Evil and Vile they are. The Truth, the Word of God exposes people’s Sins and they Hate it.
John 3:
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
People hate to hear the Truth because they know it is the Truth. They know how Vile and Evil they are but they do not care. They want to have Secret hidden Lives. They are Two Faced. They act one way with their Family. Another way at Work. And yet another way with their Buddies. Their Friends, the people they enjoy Sinning with. Drinking, Smoking, doing Drugs, Fornicating, committing Adultery and all manner of Evil.
Some just do not care. They Love their Sins and they proudly post pictures and videos of themselves Sinning. But they still have a Quick Temper when someone tries to tell them about Jesus. When someone is trying to tell them the Gospel. They get mad and start swearing. Why, because they Love their Sins and Hate Jesus. They Hate the Truth. Inside themselves they know the Truth. They know they are headed to Hell. They like to think that Hell will be this great party where they will hang out with Satan and all of their Friends. There are Songs just about this.
Jesus talks about these people:
John 8:
41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
People Go to Hell because they refuse to Believe the Truth. “Because I tell you the Truth” See people know the Truth. They refuse to Believe it because they know it is the Truth. This is Rejecting the Truth. This is Rejecting Jesus. “And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.”
46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
“Of God” A person of God (Even people that have not been Saved yet.) “Of God” means a person who is open to hearing God’s Word. A person who wants to know the Truth. A person who does not reject the Truth of God’s Word. A person who does not Reject Jesus.
48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.
Jesus and all of Jesus’ followers, Christians are attacked.
Satan’s Devils, his minions accuse Christians of Lying and Teaching Satan’s Lies. They do not want people to know the Truth so they Mock Christians and Christianity. They have their own False Counterfeit Christianity.
50 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
What is Jesus saying? What did Jesus teach about himself, about how a person is Saved?
John 3:
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth 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 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
John 4:
7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
Jesus Teaches that to Be Saved all you have to do is Ask him to Save you. To Believe in him. To Believe in his Death, Burial, and Resurrection, the Gospel to Save you.
