Part 4 continued
Jesus said, “No man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” - John 14:6 KJV
How is that?
The next verse is, "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
Jesus made it very clear it is necessary for us to believe He is the Father:
"I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins." - John 8:24 KJV
If Jesus was not the Father, but just an ordinary man, He would not have been able to pay the price of our sins by His death. Jesus was able to pay the price because as God manifest in flesh, conceived by the Holy Ghost, He was born without sin. (Luke 1:26-27, Luke 1:35, Matthew 1:20-23).
The only way we can come to the Father is through Jesus, the name of the Father that He placed on His body that He was manifest in to redeem us.
It is by the body of Jesus that we come to the Father in peace. While we were separated from Him by our sins, He reconciled us by the death on the cross of His sinless, holy flesh. He was buried, and on the third day He rose again. This is the gospel, and this is how He made a way for us to come to Him in peace and reconciliation. (Colossians 1:20-23).
"And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven." - Colossians 1:20 KJV
"To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them..." - 2 Corinthians 5:19 KJV
We come to the Father by obeying the gospel, when we repent of our sins, are baptized in His name JESUS for the remission of our sins, and we receive the gift of His Holy Ghost, speaking in tongues as His Spirit gives us the utterance. (Acts 2:38, Acts 2:4).
This is how “No man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” - John 14:6 KJV
