The Importance of Jesus Christ!

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” – John 14:6-7 NIV

There are the four main points in John 14:6-7, which connects altogether. First one is that God, our heavenly Father (Ephesians 4:6) provided the way of the life. God did this by sending Jesus Christ as an image of Himself (Colossians 1:15) into the world (John 1:14) to crucify Himself on the cross as our atonement of our sins. (Colossians 2:13-15) “For the wages of sin is death…” (Romans 6:23) Thus, He can renew us by His Spirit to become the righteousness of God, who could have eternal life by doing the will of God until the end of age. (Matthew 7:21) For “… the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23) We know that Jesus Christ is the way of the truth, just by two verses of John 3, which are 16 and 17:

For God so loved the world [Garden of Eden – Genesis 1-2] that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

Therefore, the world needs to know that Jesus is “the way and the truth and the life.” (John 14:6) This is why devout Christians are becoming an ambassador of Christ as well, due to 1 John 5:19, Romans 6:23. They automatically could become the children of God (1 John 3:1-2), if they accept and receive Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. This is because the word of God declares:

Yet to all who did receive him [Jesus Christ], to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. (John 1:12-13)

Thus, devout Christians have right to become an ambassador of Christ as well. There are two main reasons for this. First, Jesus says:

Jesus, undeterred, went right ahead and gave his charge: “God authorized and commanded me to commission you: Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Then instruct them in the practice of all I have commanded you. I’ll be with you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:18-20)

                                 

Second, Jesus also proclaims that devout Christians are the light of the world to shine the light of Jesus Christ, for He is the true light. (John 1:9-10) We can see this in Matthew 5:14-16, which states:

You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. For you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. (Matthew 5:14-16, 1 Peter 2:9, 2 Corinthians 5:20)
