The Truth

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
John 14:6

Jesus Christ is truth and truth is necessary for those who want to find the way to heaven. A map is useless if it confuses north and south or gives a mirror image of the terrain. Having the right information (i.e. truth) is essential to following directions.

No one comes to the Father except through the Lord Jesus and it’s the truth aspect of Christ that helps us get there. The Savior of the world told the Samaritan woman, “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth” (John 4:24). Makes sense. God hates lies and no one can approach Him clinging to a lie.

Sin is a lie that leads to spiritual death. The drunkard and the gang banger are offered wrong directions and false ideas that never live up to what they hoped for or expected. Many people are slaves to sin by nature but expect to go to heaven. They have rejected Christ, but sincerely believe that everyone goes there when they die. Believing a lie with all your heart doesn’t make it true. The Bible says, “Let God be true but every man a liar”(Romans 3:4). The truth remains that no one will ever get to heaven unless they believe Christ.

The way is the right direction for those who are lost and the truth is the right answer for those who tend to believe a lie. Faith is agreeing with Christ that everything about Him is The Truth
