JESUS CHRIST – THE ONLY WAY
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
John 14:6
Main Text: MAIN TEXT: John 10:9
No one in history has ever made the bold and life-defining statements that Jesus Christ made. He declared, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6). He called Himself “the door” (John 10:9), saying, “By me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.” Such claims were not merely audacious—they were the truth.
Jesus is the only way to God the Father. Salvation is not found in any other name, religion, philosophy, or moral effort. Acts 4:12 reminds us, “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” The only parameter for salvation is simple yet profound: confessing Jesus as Lord and believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead. As Romans 10:10 declares, “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
But this saving truth must be proclaimed. Jesus expects us to lift Him up so that all men can be drawn to Him. The power of salvation is unleashed through the preaching of the gospel. As Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 1:21, “For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.”
Preaching is not just an activity—it is a divine mandate and the tool God uses to bring men to salvation. Silence in the face of the lost is not an option. Faith comes by hearing (Romans 10:17), and hearing comes by the Word of God. Men are saved when we open our mouths and declare the good news of Jesus Christ. Let us not shy away from this responsibility. Instead, let us boldly proclaim the message of salvation, lifting up Jesus and drawing men to the eternal hope found only in Him. The world is in desperate need of the truth we carry, and the time to speak is now.
Confession:
I declare, I am fully dedicated to saving the lost, I boldly witness for Jesus Christ, and I am a savior of men. Hallelujah!

Gal 1:6-9 “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.”
1 Cor 15:3-4 “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.”
