For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith. As it is written,
“The righteous will live by faith”.
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known about God is evident among them, for God has showed it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, being understood by the things that are made, so that they are without excuse.
Romans 1:16-20

But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”, that is, the word of faith which we preach: That if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes for obtaining righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made for salvation. For the Scripture says: “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame”. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich toward all who call out to him.
For whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
Romans 10:8-13

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me. If you had known Me, you would have known my Father also. And from now on you know Him, and have seen Him”.
John 14:6-7

Here is one of the best known and most important sayings of the Lord Jesus.

“The way”– He is not one way among many, but the only way there is. It was not His disciples but He Himself who insisted He was the only way to God’s presence. To be true to Him His disciples must teach the same thing that He taught (compare John 3:36; Acts 14:12 and 1 Timothy 2:5. Many people do not like this teaching of our Lord Jesus, but not liking it will not change it. Far more better it is to decide to like it, because Jesus Christ is the Truth and the live and He does not lie. He Himself said that He is the only Son of God (as written in John 3:16), the one they must receive to have spiritual life (John 6:53), the one men must believe or else be lost forever (as it is written in John 8:24), the only “door” for God’s people and the only Shepherd (as we can read in John 10:7-11). Let us believe in Jesus Christ with all our hear and soul because of who He is and because of the evidence He has shown to us in His marvelous righteous Word and throughout His truth fulfilling Holy Spirit.

“Truth”– the Lord Jesus is the embodiment of God’s truth, the incarnation of the God of truth (As we can read in Psalms 31:5). There is not the slightest hint of deception, guile, or darkness in Him. And it is He who said that He is the Truth who said that He is the Way.

“Life”– as we can read in John 11:25. This does not mean, of course, physical existence, and He is not at all saying that in some way He is the life of all men and all creatures. He is saying that He shares the life of the one true God (as we can clearly read in John 5:26), and He is the one who gives eternal life to men (John 5:21; 17:2), and this life is in Him alone (as we can read in 1 John 5:11-12). By receiving the Lord Jesus Christ into our hearts and lives by faith, all that He is becomes ours and we are in the Way, believe the Truth, and have the Life. If we reject Jesus Christ we will never be in the way to God, or believe the truth, or have eternal spiritual life, or arrive in peace in the glorious presence of God in heaven. We may be certain of this because we have the truth fulfilling marverkous Word of the Son of God Himself.

Jesus meant in John 14:7 that if they had really understood who and what He is they would have known God the Father also. See John 1:14,18; Philippines 1:14,18;2:6 and Luke 2:11. But up to that time their faith and spiritual understanding were weak.

Truly, truly I say to you, he who believes in Me, he also will do the deeds that I am doing; and he will do greater deeds than these, because I am going to my Father. And I will do whatever you ask in My name, so that the Father will be glorified in the Son.
John 14:12-13

What things could possibly be greater than the things that our Lord Jesus Christ had done? He could not be speaking of miracles because the miracles they later did were in no way greater than His. Only one work of theirs was in any way “greater” than those He had done. This was the work of preaching that resulted in the conversion of multitudes of both Jews and Gentiles, of going into all the world and proclaiming the gospel to all creation (as we can read in Mark 16:15) and making disciples of all nations (as we can read in Mathew 28:19). When He was on earth He confined His ministry to a very small area, and saw comparatively few people come to a true faith in Himself. Having gone to the Father He sent the Holy Spirit to enable His disciples to do “greater” works and spread His gospel to the ends of the earth.

Here is another reason why His disciples should not be troubled. This is a very wide promise with very clear restrictions. Effective prayer must be in Jesus Christ’s name. No other name, no other mediator, is needed. Since He Himself will answer any prayer we make in His name, then it is plain we need no help from anyone else in heaven or on earth to get answers to our prayers. See also Jobn 16:27. “Name” here signifies all He is and stands for, His 0precious devine nature, His character, His will, His authority, and all else we know of Him) is revealed in His marvelous righteous fulfilling teachings, so prayer should be made according to them. The Lord Jesus Christ answers prayer with a grand purpose in mind – the glory of God the Father. We should want answers to our prayers on the same high basis. Compare Mathew 6:9-10. If our motives are right we may ask for big things in His will and get big answers. See also John 15:7; 1 John 5:14-15 and compare Jeremiah 33:3; Luke 11:5-13;18:1-8; Ephesians 6:18; Hebrews 4:16; and James 5:16.

Much LoVe, JoY, Peace and Blessings through Jesus Christ, our almighty, wonderful dear caring Lord, Saviour and Redeemer, in who we faithful abide, trust, believe and abundantly do receive throughout His marvelous righteous Word and truth fulfilling Holy Spirit.
