John 14:6-7
The Way
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
Acts 19:9
The Way
9 But some of them became obstinate; they refused to believe and publicly maligned the Way. So Paul left them. He took the disciples with him and had discussions daily in the lecture hall of Tyrannus.
Acts 24:14-15
The Way
14 However, I admit that I worship the God of our fathers as a follower of the Way, which they call a sect. I believe everything that agrees with the Law and that is written in the Prophets, 15 and I have the same hope in God as these men, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.
Acts 24:22
The Way
22 Then Felix, who was well acquainted with the Way, adjourned the proceedings. “When Lysias the commander comes,” he said, “I will decide your case.”
Acts 4:12
Salvation is Found Only is Jesus
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.
1 John 5:1-12
Faith in the Incarnate Son of God
1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. 2 This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. 3 In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, 4 for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 5 Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
6 This is the one who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. 7 For there are three that testify: 8 the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement. 9 We accept human testimony, but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which he has given about his Son. 10 Whoever believes in the Son of God accepts this testimony. Whoever does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because they have not believed the testimony God has given about his Son. 11 And this is the 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.
Jesus said He is the Way...So, there is this Jesus Way...The Way is the Right Way, the Way to the Truth, the Way to an Abundant Life on Earth...Early followers of His, called themselves the Way...The people who follow Him study His Ways and His teachings...The more we study Him, the better we understand His Ways...And in believing Him, He brings exclusivity...He is the Way to our salvation and the healing and curing for our sins...His Way is the sole source to our salvation...Since Truth by its very fact is Truth, then Truth must be exclusive...Darkness cannot be Light, and more than red can be green...There can be only one Light, and one (color called) red in Truth...When we follow His Way, we become closer to the Truth and living in the Truth...We want to believe in Truth and stand for Truth...Why would we want to believe in anything that is not the truth...
Jesus is the Way to God...In fact, He said He is the Only Way to God...And the early followers of His, believed He was and is the Only Way to God...St. John in his first epistle also wrote about Jesus' exclusivity...St. John said Jesus is the Son of God...We can only overcome this world with Jesus...Who is it that overcomes the world?...Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God...Another one of His Disciples basically repeated what Jesus said about Him being the Way, the Life, and the Exclusive Truth...St. Peter said that Jesus is the Exclusive One and the Only Way to God...St. Peter said that salvation is found in Only Him...Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved...
The Way is a path...A path to life...A path to His Father's grace...A path to His Father's LOVE...
