ONLY ONE WAY
“ I am the way and the truth and the life . No one comes to the Father except through me .” John 14:6
How can you have a relationship with God ? Popular opinion says you can choose your own way or even make it . But Proverbs 14:12 says , “ There is a way that appears to be right , but in the end it leads to death .” According to God Himself , there is no other way except through Jesus ( Acts 4:12 ).
Romans 3:23 states , “ For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God .” This means that everyone is a sinner ; and as sinners , we will never be “ good enough ” to earn our way into a relationship with a holy God . According to Romans 6:23 , “ For the wages of sin is death , but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord .” Because of our sin , the one thing we have earned is death , eternal separation from God in hell .
But God made a way for sinful people to have an eternal relationship with a holy God . According to Romans 5:8 , “ But God demonstrates his own love for us in this : While we were still sinners , Christ died for us .” Although we as sinners deserve eternal death , God has given us a gift — the gift of
eternal life through salvation in Jesus Christ . Jesus , the perfect sacrifice , saved us from the consequence of sin by paying the price for it through His death on the cross and resurrection from the dead . He did what we as sinners could not do for ourselves . Therefore , it is only through Him that we are able to have eternal life with God .
The following prayer is a guideline to help you tell God that you believe Jesus is the only way to be saved from sin and have a relationship with Him :
Dear God , Thank You for sending Jesus to die on the cross for my sins . I know that I am a sinner and that it is only through Jesus ’ death on the cross and resurrection from the dead that I am able to have eternal life with You in heaven . I now accept You as my Savior . In Jesus ’ name , Amen
To learn more about the gift of eternal life , please come and talk with us . We would love to pray with you or tell you more about how you can have a relationship with God and a home in heaven .
