In his own words Jesus declared: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” ( John 14:6). Logically, if there really is a God, then we must come to him by his own prescribed way! That prescribed road, according to the God of the Bible, is by faith in Jesus Christ! Religions are based on various systems of works, whereas Christianity is based on Jesus and what he has already done for us! REFERENCE: John 14:6; Matthew 25:41; Acts 4:12; John 3:16; Romans 10:9; 1 Peter 3:18.

If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me” (Revelation 3:20). REFERENCE: Revelation 3:20; John 3:16; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4; John 11:25
