(a chapter from my book, Beauty for Ashes)
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. He is the only way. There is no other way to God than through Him. [John 14:6 NLT] Some people may believe there are many ways to God, but that is not true. Their lives, fruits and results will speak for themselves. The enemy does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. Jesus came so that we may have life, and that we may have it more abundantly. [John 10:10 NKJV] The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. Jesus’ purpose is to give each of us a rich and satisfying life. [John 10:10 NLT] A belief in Jesus, and a personal relationship with God will unlock all the blessings and promises described in the Bible, both the New Testament and in the Old Testament. Jesus is the door. Through Him, you will be saved, and go in and out and find pasture. [John 10:9 NLT] Having said that, besides the blessings, the Bible also describes warnings and examples of people and kings who turn away from God. Endure to the end and you will be saved. [Matthew 24:12-14 NLT] If God’s people who are called by My Name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, He will hear from Heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land. [2 Chronicles 7:14 NLT]
In the Mighty Name of Jesus, Amen.
Thank You, LORD GOD, in the Mighty Name of Jesus.
