When you are looking for God you want to know the way. You want to know the Truth. You want to know how to find eternal life, and a better life. (John 10:10).

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." - John 14:6 KJV

If we follow the way of the flesh of Christ, we will come to the Spirit of Christ, the Father.

"If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him." - John 14:7 KJV

We know the way of the flesh of Christ. He had to deny His flesh and allow the Spirit of God that was in Him to accomplish His mission to save the world which would take suffering and death on a cross.

"Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me." - Matthew 16:24 KJV

We follow Christ by denying our flesh, saying no to sinful desires. We crucify this lustful nature by repentance. We follow Christ’s burial by water baptism in Jesus name. We follow Christ’s resurrection when we receive the gift of His Spirit, the Holy Ghost.

"Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin." - Romans 6:3-6 KJV

This is the way to God.

"To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them..." - 2 Corinthians 5:19 KJV

Because sin separates us from God, He put on a sinless human body to pay the price of death for our sins so that we could return and have peace with Him.

"For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; and, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself..." - Colossians 1:19-20 KJV

Peter preached this message on the Day of Pentecost when the church first began.

This is truth, and this is the way to God. This is how to find eternal life, and a better life. This is how we can come unto the Spirit of Jesus, the Father within Him.

"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

“For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." - Acts 2:38-39 KJV
