Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.” John 14:6
All physical life is completely dependent on the sun. That may seem intuitive but when I heard this statement recently I was struck by the physical parallel of a profound spiritual truth. All spiritual life is completely dependent on the SON! Even with its exclusivity, I have never heard anyone complain about the way life is sustained. It is narrow, no doubt, but everyone seems to agree that without the sun we are all doomed. However, many argue against the reality of Jesus, the Son of God, being the only Way to eternal life with the Father. Colossians 1:15-17 says, “He (Jesus) is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.” So, it is the Son of God who holds all things together physically, even the sun we so desperately need. However, everything and everyone eventually dies.
Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6).
But, how do we know that it’s true? The answer is simple. When you accept by faith that Jesus died for you personally to pay the penalty for your sins that keep you apart from God because He is holy, and enter into a relationship with Him, then you are cleansed from all unrighteousness (literally in Christ or covered by Christ’s righteousness) so God no longer counts your sin against you because the debt has been paid by God Himself in the flesh (Jesus). Because He loved the world so much He made a way for us to be reconciled with Him (John 3:16). When we believe this by faith (accept the gift) we enter into spiritual life (born again) and are a new creation, completely forgiven and sealed with the promise of the Holy Spirit. This conversion from death to life is palpable and you will experience God in the same way a lifeless seed, when planted in fertile soil, watered, and exposed to the sun bursts forth into new life. You will know by experience!
How I pray everyone who does not know God personally would realize that they are spiritually dead, like a seed, and would accept the gift of life from Jesus, the Light of the world, the living Water, the Son of God!
“And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.” 1 John 5:11-13
