The only way, the only door and the only means of salvation, is JESUS

"I am the way, and the truth and the life: No one comes to the Father, but by me" (John 14: 6).

To be saved, people strive, strive to be good people, honest, healthy, but ... none of those who can take them to heaven, by the Word of God tells us clearly that only Jesus is ... the only way, the only door and the only means to give us eternal life.

JESUS THE ONLY WAY

It is Jesus himself who affirms in John 14: 6 that no one comes to the Father except through Him. But, even he making this affirmation, many still seek other people (like Mary, the mother of Jesus) or means (like good works, good behavior, the fulfillment of the law) to be saved from the eternal and literal hell. But the Lord tells us that ... "There is a way that seems right to man, but his end is the way of death" (Proverbs 16:25).

All the means that man seeks to save himself, to go to heaven after his physical death, lead him to destruction.

He is the "enemy of our souls" who tries to divert our attention from the only true path that can take us to heaven ... Jesus Christ.

My friend, the religion that I and you follow, the good deeds that, from the heart, we do, the commandments that we strive to fulfill do not give us eternal life together with the Lord. Jesus is the only way that can lead us to heaven.

JESUS THE ONLY DOOR

In John 10: 9, Jesus says ... "I am the door, if one enters through me, he will be saved ..."
If you are one of those people who say ... "I know that Jesus is the door to heaven, but 'I think' I will leave for later! After all, I go to church every Sunday and pray to God all At night, beware, because nobody knows if he will be alive in five minutes and, after his death, there will be no more possibilities of repentance.See the story of the rich man and of Lazarus (Luke 16: 19-31). in hell, he asked Abraham to have mercy on him saying: "... command Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in the water and to cool my tongue, for I am tormented in this flame" (Luke 16:24). If there was a possibility for the rich to repent and get out of these flames, as he says, certainly he would ask God and God would attend him but ... there is not this possibility, because the day for you to be saved is TODAY as the Bible itself says in 2 Cor 6: 2 "that he heard in the acceptable time and that he would help the day of salvation." ion; Now is the acceptable time, now is the day of salvation "

Jesus is the door that never closes. She is always open to all who want to enter through her and also for those who do not want to.

If you are part of the group that wants to enter through this door and want to accept Jesus as your personal Savior, you are already part of the family of God. You are now a daughter of God and have your safe salvation in your hands. In the Gospel of John 1:12 the Lord tells us ... "But to all who received him, he gave them the power to become children of God, to those who believe in his name.
However, if you are part of the group that does not want to enter through this door, then you are only a creature of God and still not saved. In the Gospel of John 3:18 the Lord also tells us ... "He who believes in him is not condemned, but he who does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
My friend, and brother be careful, because this door will one day close and may be until today. And when it closes, it's going to be too late for you to regret it.

The Bible tells us clearly that there is a literal heaven and a literal hell.

Literal heaven ... "I heard a great voice from heaven, saying: Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, they live with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. God will wipe away all the tears from his eyes, and there will be no more death, nor mourning, nor crying, nor pain, because the first things are already passed away "(Revelation 21: 3-4).

Literal hell ... "The wicked will be taken to Sheol, all the people who forget God" (Psalm 09:17).

My friend, before deciding whether or not to enter through this door, open the door of her heart and let Jesus enter. He, at this moment, is waiting for you just waiting for you to invite him. See what He is saying to you ... "Behold, I stand at the door, and I beat: if anyone hears my voice, and opens the door, I will come into his house, and with him I will dine, and he with me" (Revelation 3) :twenty).

Open the door of your heart and let Jesus enter and then enter through the only door that will take you to heaven and give you eternal life ... JESUS CHRIST.

JESUS THE ONLY HALF

Yes, Jesus is the only means of reaching heaven. Nothing and no one, except He, has the requirements demanded by God the Father to forgive the sins of humanity.

Neither you nor I can do anything for our salvation, because we are imperfect, sinners ...
In the Old Testament, the Jewish people to be forgiven of their sins had to sacrifice a lamb without blemish. The blood had to be shed so that sins would be forgiven.
"If his offering is to the flock of sheep or goats, to the sacrifice, a male without blemish" (Lev 1:10).

All this was only a symbol of the true Lamb of God, without defect, pure, without any sin that came into the world, was killed and shed his blood so that everyone who accepted and accepted this sacrifice on the cross, was saved. See what John the Baptist says about Jesus ... "Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world" (John 1:29).

Look friend, I nor you can do anything to fulfill these requirements demanded by God. You and I are already born with the sin we inherited from Adam. I am not perfect and, in spite of being a new creature ("Once he is in Christ, new creature is, old things have passed away, behold, all are made new" [2 Corinthians 5:17]) still bring with me that old and sinful nature. My good works are like filthy rags. My effort to get a good wife, good mother, good daughter, good friend does not serve any purpose for my salvation.

Then, recognizing how much my effort is worth nothing to me to be saved, I have to humble myself and recognize that only Jesus can give me eternal life in heaven, with Him.
Only Jesus is the way, the door and the means of salvation for all who believe in Him.

I thank God for having sent the Holy Spirit to convince me to leave the long road of the world and lead me down the narrow path where, there, there was a door (Jesus Christ) through which I entered and received eternal salvation. And ... this salvation never depended on me to preserve it. But, as John 10: 28-29 says, she is safe in the hands of our Lord and Savior ... "And I give them eternal life, and I will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand." My Father, who has given, is greater than all, and no one can snatch them from the hands of my Father.

My friend, accept this only way, this unique door and this only means that is Jesus Christ and begin, right now, to be part of the family of God.
