What Way is the Right Way Religiously?

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6). I have found that most religious people know this passage of scripture. In fact, most think that they are following it. Most will claim that they are going through Jesus to the Father. However, while most claim that they know and are following John 14:6, many people must not know this one. “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed” (Galatians 1:8). Have you ever thought about how one can preach another gospel? All one has to do is teach something that Jesus did not teach. So, while most religious people believe that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, they fail to teach His doctrine, all of His doctrine to others. The apostle Paul wrote, “And whatsoever you do in word or deed, do in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him” (Colossians 3:17). If we really understand this verse, it means that we will do EVERYTHING that God has told us to do through Jesus Christ. It means God’s Word is supreme. It means we must do as God says because that is what His way is. God is after our heart. It is up to us to make sure that we give it to Him unconditionally! Do we really love Jesus? If so, then we will keep His commandments – all of His commandments (John 14:15).
