Moment of Realities
Topic -: The Bible, My trust and My expression. Pt7
Thursday, April 9th.
Apostle O. Isaac
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness (2 Corinthians 3:16).
The absolute nature of the word of God is what makes the word of God dependable. We ought to approach God's word with an unwavering confidence. In today's teaching, we shall be considering the absolute nature of John 14:6. John 14:6 says, Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." The above verse of scripture is a scripture that reinstates the sovereignty of Jesus Christ. Jesus said: I am the way, the truth and the life. The words of Jesus in John 14:6 show the limitations of every other religion on the earth.
There is no religious founder or leader that could make such an audacious statement. The expression in John 14:6 is not subject to human validation. The graciousness of God is convened in this singular expression of Jesus in John 14:6. For this course, we are going to investigate the expression as recorded in the above verse of scripture. What does it mean for Jesus to be the way, the truth and the life? Firstly, we must take note of the use of a definite article in expressing who Jesus Christ actually is. The scripture said: Jesus Christ is the way.
Jesus Christ is not a way. Jesus Christ is not one of the ways to God. Jesus Christ is the only way to God. No way to God except me connotes no other way to God. But apostle, what about people calling on God aside Jesus Christ. It's key to know that, you can't call on someone that you don't know. Romans 10:13-14 says, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?"
Salvation is open to whosoever that calls on the name of the Lord. But here is the criteria for salvation. No one can call on whom they don't know. To call on the Lord for salvation, we must first know the Lord. To know the Lord, we must first hear about the Lord and believe the message that we heard about the lord. You can see that, calling on the name of the Lord for salvation begins with believing the heard message about the Lord. Now, the Lord is instructing us that He(Jesus) is the way to God. There is no other way except Jesus Christ to God.
We must accept the declaration of Jesus Christ as the only way to God as absolute. We can't believe multiple ways to God and be effective witnesses to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is where we need to evaluate our value system on the authority of the book called the Bible. The Bible is more than just a book with paper and ink. The Bible is the revelation of the intent and desire of God for man. Our value system on the Bible must be absolute.
Scriptures for meditation for today: Acts 4:12 and Romans 8:11.

Precious father, I am grateful for the insight of your word to me. My life is Christ centered. I grow in the knowledge of Jesus Christ. I declare that my voice is amplified for the interest of God's kingdom. I can do what the word of God said I can do. Amen.
