The Way The Truth And The LIFE

Christ Jesus said:

‘I am the Way and the Truth and the Life.’

That is, He is the only WAY the only TRUTH and the only LIFE.
There is no other way, no other truth and no other life
That will lead to heaven.
All other ways, all other so called truth
And all other so called life, leads to hell.


What is this Way, this Truth and this Life?
It is allowing Christ to live in and through you.
Becoming ONE with Him.

The characteristics of this Way, this Truth and this Life
Are clearly set forth in the words of Christ Jesus
In the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5):

‘Blessed - happy, to be envied, and spiritually prosperous
[That is with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation,
Regardless of their outward conditions] -
Are the poor in spirit (the humble, rating themselves insignificant),
For theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven!’ (Matthew. 5: 3) Amplified


Jesus said:
‘I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the Kingdom of God
Like a little child will never enter it.’ (Luke. 18:17)

We must come to Almighty God, the Father, with childlike trust and faith;
These are the poor in spirit, the humble,
The surrendered to God’s incomparable love.
The Father loves all his children.
He loves you and me as much as he loves any other person.
The Father’s love is passionate towards each one of us.
He is able to love you intensely and intimately
And love me intensely and intimately,
As he loves all who have gone before us
And entered into the Kingdom of God.


The Father’s love has no limitations towards each one of us.
He is not a man, he is God.
His love toward you and me is consummate, overwhelming
And complete (Lacking nothing).
We are to rest in this love, like a child does his loving parents.

‘Blessed and enviably happy,
[With a happiness produced by experience of God’s favor
And especially conditioned by the revelation of His matchless grace]
Are those who mourn, for they will be comforted!’
[Isaiah. 61:2] Amplified

Every child of God mourns over what he sees around him.
He sees lost people everywhere he looks.
People indulging in every form of evil,
Destined for hell unless they turn to God.
Yet we are comforted by the experience of God’s grace
In our own lives
And we know that this same grace is available
To whosoever will turn to the Father.

‘Blessed - happy, blithesome, joyous, spiritually prosperous
[That is, with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation,
Regardless of their outward conditions] - are the meek
(the mild, patient, long-suffering),
For they shall inherit the earth!’ [PS. 37:11]. Amplified

‘Blessed - and fortunate and happy and spiritually prosperous
[That is in that state in which the born-again child of God
Enjoys His favor and salvation]
Are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness
(Uprightness and right standing with God),
For they shall be completely satisfied!’ [Isaiah 55:1,2] Amplified

‘Blessed - happy, to be envied, and spiritually prosperous
[That is, with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation,
Regardless of their outward conditions] - are the merciful,
For they shall obtain mercy!’

The Scriptures teach that mercy triumphs over judgment.
(James 2:13)
We are to be merciful rather than judgmental.

‘Blessed - happy, enviably fortunate, and spiritually prosperous
[That is, possessing the happiness produced by experience
Of God’s favor  
And especially conditioned by the revelation of His grace,
Regardless of their outward conditions] - are the pure in heart,
For they shall see God!’ Amplified

‘Blessed - enjoying enviable happiness, spiritually prosperous
[That is, with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation,
Regardless of their outward conditions] -
Are the makers and maintainers of peace,
For they shall be called the sons of God!’ Amplified

‘Blessed and happy and enviably fortunate and spiritually prosperous
[That is, in the state in which one enjoys and finds satisfaction
In God’s favor
And salvation, regardless of his outward conditions],
Are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake
(for being and doing right),
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven!’ Amplified

‘Blessed - happy, to be envied, and spiritually prosperous
[That is, with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation,
Regardless of your outward conditions] -
Are you when people revile you and persecute you
And say all kinds of evil things against you falsely on My account.
Be glad and supremely joyful, for your reward in heaven is great
(strong and intense),
For in this same way people persecuted the prophets
Who were before you.’ Amplified

‘You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste -
Its strength, its quality -
How can its saltiness be restored?
It is not good for anything any longer but to be thrown out
And trodden under foot by men.
You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid.
Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a peck-measure
But on a lamp stand,
And it gives light to all in the house.
Let your light so shine before men
That they may see your moral excellence
And your praiseworthy, noble and good deeds,
And recognize and honor and praise and glorify
Your Father Who is in heaven.’ Amplified


The beatitudes reveal the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE.
When his “WAY” is our “Way,” his “TRUTH” our “Truth,”
His “LIFE” our “Life.”
We then know that we possess eternal LIFE in the here and now.
This knowing cannot be taken from us
Because it comes from the Father himself.
We belong to Him and He belongs to us.
We are ONE with Him and He is ONE with us.
He lives in us and we live in Him.


The word of God teaches further that the Kingdom of God
Is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
When this is our reality, we know that we know Him.

TO EXPERIENCE GOD’S WAY, HIS TRUTH AND HIS LIFE
WE MUST LIVE IN HIS SECRET PLACE, THE KINGDOM OF GOD

Access to God’s “Secret Place” is by faith and His Anointing
(Christ in us)
Which enables us to “KNOW” Him, to live IN Him.

King David in Psalm 91 says:
'He who dwells (lives) in the secret place of the Most High God
Will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, ’He is my refuge and my fortress,
My God, in whom I trust.’
Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare
And from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with his feathers,
And under His wings you will find refuge;
His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
You will not fear the terror of night,
Nor the arrow that flies by day,
Nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
Nor the plague that destroys at midday.
A thousand may fall at your side,
Ten thousand at your right hand,
But it will not come near you.
You will only observe with your eyes
And see the punishment of the wicked.

If you make the Most High your dwelling--
Even the Lord, who is my refuge--
Then no harm will befall you,
No disaster will come near your tent.
For He will command his angels concerning you
To guard you in all your ways;
They will lift you up in their hands,
So that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
You will trample the great lion and the serpent.

‘Because he loves me,’ says the Lord, ‘I will rescue him;
For he acknowledges my name.
He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation.’

All the promises and blessings listed above come from
“Living in the Secret Place of the Most High God,”
Which is the Kingdom of God.
This requires that we “KNOW” Him.
The “KEY” to His “Secret Place” is to “KNOW” Him.
The “KEY” to knowing Him is Christ in us, our teacher;
Being immersed in His Spirit
And allowing Christ to live in and through us;
Becoming ONE with Him.

This is the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE.
