Approaching God Through Christ (Part Seven)

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Our Savior Jesus Christ is the way and the means to our relationship with God the Father. If you wish to reach the treasure at the top of the mountain, the only way to get there is to follow the Trailblazer Himself. Jesus Christ declares that He is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father except through Him. This truth underscores that He is the sole and complete means of approach to God, embodying the method and path we must walk. His way emphasizes behavior and the direction of life, guiding us to live as He did to reach the same destination, the Kingdom of God. As the truth, He reflects God's reality, revealing timeless and eternal teachings necessary for growing into God's character image. As the life, He is the Life-giver, the One who imparts eternal life through His resurrection, forging the path for us to follow. Jesus Christ stands as the Mediator, central to all elements of approaching the Father, providing the behavior, knowledge, and spiritual life needed for fellowship with God. Through Him, we gain access, protection, separation from the world, and the freedom to live abundantly within His boundaries. He is with us from the beginning, showing the way through His sacrifice, cleansing us, providing the covenant, lighting our path, and advocating for us in prayer, ensuring we can have a relationship with the Father. Without Him, we would have nothing and could achieve nothing in our journey to God.

What We Can Learn From This Day of Atonement
