Finding Truth in a World Full of Lies: Jesus’ Teachings

A falsehood is circulating, claiming that all paths lead to God, and it has led many to believe it is true. It sounds good right, after all Christians are about love and unity, but there is a danger believing this. According to John 14:6, Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” Let us dissect this scripture and uncover its true meaning.

Many say they believe in God but reject Jesus Christ as the only way to the Father. Let's face it-there are thousands of religions in this world. But when Jesus said, "I am the way." He made a clear affirmation: not that He is one of many paths, but the only way to eternal life in God's presence. As true followers of Christ, we must teach the same thing to everyone. John 3:36 tells us, “He who believes in the Son has everlasting life, and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” Also, Acts 4:12 says “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” This is why Jesus said, “I Am the Way.”

Many people may reject this teaching of Jesus, but their rejection does not change its truth. It is to our benefit to accept and embrace it, for Jesus is the Truth and not a man who lies. He declared Himself to be the only 'door' for God's people and our only Shepherd (John 10:7-11). We should believe in Him not only because of who He is, but also because His word affirms it.

He is “The Truth,” the Lord Jesus is the embodiment of God’s truth, the incarnation of the God of truth (Ps 31:5), the “Living Word” that makes us free (John 8:32). Therefore, there is no deception, dishonesty, or darkness in Him. Lying is against His nature; He will never say something and not fulfill it. He is not like us, we sometimes put our foot in our mouth by saying something just to get out of a situation. Not Him, if He said it, He will do it. 

Lastly, Jesus said He is “The Life” (John 11:25.) He is not talking about physical life; He is talking about spiritual life. He alone has the power to give eternal life to all those who believe (John 3:16). John 5:26 says, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.” How many of us heard His voice calling when we were lost in our sins? How many of us heeded and obeyed? If you are a believer, you have heard His voice and are now alive in Him. Hallelujah! 

By receiving the Lord Jesus into our hearts through faith, we become co-heirs with Christ. However, if we reject Him, we will never find the path to God, know the truth, or experience eternal life. Let us share this Good News with the world today.
