Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6
The function of Christ's coming to earth is indicated by the name he was given: "you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." Matthew 1:21. Also, "God with us." (Matthew 1:23).
But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. John 20:31. Also: That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9
Jesus says in John 16:7-11, But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor (Holy Spirit) will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment: in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me; in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world (Satan) now stands condemned. John 16:7-11
I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so 'that you may know him better.' Ephesians 1:17.
