What Does Access To God Mean? The Bible says much about having access to God. Bible verses teach that access to God is of God (Psalm 65:4) through Jesus Christ (John 14:6). Psalm 65:4 says, “Blessed is the one you choose and bring near, to dwell in your courts! We shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house, the holiness of your temple!” In addition, John 14:6 says, “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” As Christians or followers of Jesus Christ, we are in union with Him through the power of the Holy Spirit. Our faith in Him gives us access to God the Father Almighty. Behold, He is the gateway into God’s Kingdom (John 10:7).

John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” Amazingly, God wants the world to have access to His Kingdom and obtain His gift of Eternal Life through Jesus Christ. In other words, God has made it possible for us to seek and find Him through His beloved Son, Jesus Christ. With this in mind, anyone who acknowledges his/her sinful nature, repents, and welcomes Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world is given access to God’s Kingdom. It is the blood of Jesus Christ that was shed on the cross at Calvary that gives us access to God’s Kingdom. This blood takes away our sins when we Sincerely Repent and follow the ways of God.

What Did Jesus Mean When He Said, “I Am The Way And The Truth And The Life” (John 14:6)?

“I am the Way and the Truth and the Life” is one of the seven (7) “I Am” statements of Jesus Christ. Made/uttered on the last night before His betrayal, death, and resurrection, this statement is of great importance in Christianity. We are made to understand from the Bible that for three (03) years, Jesus’ disciples followed and learned from Him. They had placed their hopes in Him as the Messiah, Promised Deliverer, although they still didn’t understand how He was going to accomplish the deliverance. After the Last Supper, Jesus Christ began speaking about His departure, which led to questions from his disciples.

In John 13:33, Jesus Christ said, “My children, I will be with you only a little longer. You will look for me, and just as I told the Jews, so I tell you now: Where I am going, you cannot come.” Upon hearing this, Peter asked Jesus where He was going. This question was asked because Peter as well as the other disciples of Jesus Christ did not understand that Jesus was speaking of His suffering, death, resurrection, and ascension to Heaven. Jesus’ response was, “Where I am going, you cannot follow now, but you will follow later.” Despite Jesus’ response, Peter still misunderstood and declared that he would follow Jesus anywhere and even lay down his life if need be. However, Jesus Christ patiently continued teaching them, but this time around, He began speaking plainly about Heaven, describing the place He was going to prepare for them (John 14:2–3).

Jesus Christ Continues Teaching His Disciples

Jesus Christ said to them, “You know the way to the place where I am going” (John 14:4). Speaking on the behalf of all the disciples, Thomas said that they did not know where He was going, and as a result could not know the way to take in order to follow Him. It was in answer to this question that Jesus Christ uttered one of the seven famous “I Am” statements. Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).

I Am

In the Greek language, “I Am” is a special and very intense way of referring to oneself. It’s like saying, “I myself, and only I, am.” There are several other occasions in the Bible that we hear
