Jesus Christ, the Way of the Life and the Truth!

“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” – Luke 19:10 NIV

What is missing in our lives, even though we believe that we have got everything under the control?

To be honest, all of us are lost since we have been born as sinners from the beginning. (Romans 3:23;5:12) For this reason, Jesus Christ has provided the way of the life and the truth (John 14:6) by crucifying Himself on the cross as an atonement of our sins; to break the power of the evil one who has been within us. (Colossians 2:13-15; Hebrews 2:14-15) This means that without His intercession, there has been no life within us, since the word of God proclaims,

Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved. Therefore he [Jesus Christ] is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them. (Acts 4:12, Hebrews 7:25)

In other words, without Jesus Christ, all of us are going the wrong way that is towards death. “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23) 1 Peter 2:24-25 probably gives us the best explanation for this:

“He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.” For “you were like sheep going astray,” but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

Therefore, we need to consider Jesus Christ as our driving license throughout the life. Thus, if we want to experience the life in real way, then we have to repent before God (Matthew 3:2), overcome the world (1 John 5:1-5) and do the will of God until the end of the age. This is because the word of God declares: “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 7:21) We can do this by abiding into the Holy Spirit/Spirit of God, whom God has poured into us. (John 14:15-17,26-27; Ezekiel 36:26-27)

Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever. (1 John 2:15-17)

His divine power [The Spirit of God] has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.

For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.

Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (2 Peter 1:3-11)
