How Can We Know The Way

By Pastor J. C. O'Hair

After we read concerning the divisions and subdivisions in Christendom, we are not surprised that many are perplexed and bewildered in the midst of the religious confusion of the day. Doubtless many are today joining with Thomas to ask the Lord, "How can we know the way?" John 14:5. If you are asking this question, hear the Lord's answer: "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no man cometh unto the Father but by Me." John 14:6.

Christ Himself is the Way. He is not a way; or one of many ways to God. Christ is the one and only way to God; to salvation; to heaven.

"BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS, BY A NEW AND LIVING WAY, WHICH HE HATH CONSECRATED FOR US, THROUGH THE VEIL THAT IS TO SAY, HIS FLESH." Hebrews 10:19, 20.

A Person is our Saviour and our Salvation. A Person is our life-giver and our life. A Person is our Redeemer and redemption. A Person is our righteousness and holiness. A Person is our peace and our hope. That Person is the Lord Jesus Christ, "the Man Christ Jesus," the one Mediator between God and men. By His blood we have been brought nigh to God.

We need nothing more than Christ; nothing less will suffice or avail. To add any religion whatsoever to Christ Himself is to displease God. In Christ dwelleth all the fulness of the God head bodily. In Christ are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Christ Himself; accepted in Christ; without condemnation in Christ; the righteousness  of God in Christ. The believer is blessed with all spiritual blessings in Christ. Christ is the superlative need of the world. He is all that you need, but you do need Him. You must have Him, or be lost forever.
