John 14:6 I am the way and the truth and the life


"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6).



A sobering thought. Recently my girlfriend's mum pass away and I have to wonder what has become of her. Having being brought up in a Buddhist family and having believed this all her life, was there any hope for her ? For Buddhist believe that doing good during their life time will allow them to have a better future which is totally at a tangent to Christianity. For us there is only way and that is through Jesus Christ. That is laid out in black and white as the lawyers would quote. No compromise.

There is no such thing as selling the deceased belongings and donating it to charities to push the soul to a higher plane. It always falls short.



The differences were very stark to me...it is something others find it hard to understand.
Sometimes we as Christians also do not really understand and try to do it on their own.
We need to understand this in order to share the true way with others.

God dearly loves His children; "He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9).

God dearly loves His children; "He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9). He sent His Son to die as a sacrifice for our sins and gave His Spirit to strengthen and guide us along His path. He continues to call! But constant rejection will cause our heart to harden and be subject to God's discipline.




A hardened heart has chosen to live separated from God. It can no longer hear God's call and cannot even recognize His truth. When this occurs, our Loving Father responds with great sorrow and allows the hardened heart to follow the path it desires; "Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts" (Romans 1:24). Dear Lord, do not allow us to follow our own path!
