How do you get to God through Jesus?

Answer 1

Yes, to get to God you must go through Jesus and accept Him into your heart because God can't be in the presence of sin and since everyone has sinned Jesus is the only way to forgive those sins and to get to God and living forever! Yes. John 14:6, 7 - 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." This doctrine is prominent throughout the New Testament. In his first epistle, the Apostle John summarizes why one can come to God only through Christ: 1 John 2:1, 2 - My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.Answer Yes this is true, but it is not such a simple statement as it seems. Jesus claimed to be God and Christians accept Jesus as divine - fully human, with all human traits, emotions and so on, and yet fully God also. If Christians accept this, then the statement that 'no one comes to the Father except by me' is rather strange - one could read it as 'no one comes to God except by God'. What was it that Jesus actually meant? The answer seems to lie in Christ's teaching. He taught that God loves us, and that he wants to have a relationship with us if we turn to him. Jesus taught that there are two great commandments on which everything else is based: that we should love God with all our hearts. souls minds and strength, and we should love our neighbours as we love ourselves. It is this which Jesus insists we do. We must love God (and in that process love Jesus as he is divine humanity), and we must love our neighbours with a selfless, unconditional love. Without that, we cannot enter into a relationship with a God that is pure love. Sometime my heart sinks when I read of those who, because they believe that their branch of Christianity (or any other belief) is the 'only way' because they either follow The Bible to the letter, or perform certain rituals 'properly' (whatever that means) or they speak in tongues, heal or prophesy whereas others may not. Some Catholics pour scorn on protestants because they do not recognise Christ's 'real presence in the mass' or believe in purgatory. Some Evangelicals look down on Catholics because they do not accept all of the Bible as the unerrant Word of God. Some 'Christians' show contempt for those of other faiths or no faith at all because they do not accept Jesus as would a Christian. There have been more arguments and conflicts over the minutiae of religion than any other cause. God must look on us and weep. What IS important is that, despite our differences, we accept God as a God of Love as revealed to us through God incarnate - Jesus - and, because of that love given freely to us, we, in turn, love our neighbours as ourselves. This is the necessity for salvation. For what Jesus, our God-man said, whatever we do to others - we are doing to him. Love is the key, not exclusivity and one-upmanship. Until all Christians, and others, realise that, there will always be conflicts and arguments over whose theology is 'right'.

Answer 2

All men and women are born sinners. When we die on earth, we go to purgatory. There is where we will be judged. Since we are all sinners we will be judged as that. All who dwell in Heaven are free from sin. Well God doesn't like this rule. Since Satan tricked man into sinning we have no chance to go to heaven. Remember God is perfect, even God's law is perfect. Which is why He loves good and turns His back on bad (sin). He even turned His back on Jesus Christ (His only (begotten) Son : meaning His only Son that came straight out from Him) because, he's so perfect and so, so is Jesus. So what God did was, showed Satan who was starting to believe that he was greater than God, that he isn't greater than Him, which is why he (Satan) was cast into Hell. So, He started this tradition with his people (Hebrew. During the Passover, You must sacrifice the very best sheep that you have or can afford. The blood from this animal shows that even if have not much or you give up your best for God that your sins would be cleansed. Typically the sheep would be free from blemish and be pure white or as close as possible. This tradition was symbolic for what was to come. Remember God loves the world, and his children (us). So God sent his only son. When sending his son (Jesus) he was going to use Jesus as a metaphorical sheep. By Jesus dying for our sins through his blood, Jesus would become our savior. This is why God sent His only Begotten Son Jesus, as a man, so that He would be able to understand our sinning but, Jesus never did. Which is why, through Jesus all sins can and will be wiped away, if you ask for forgiveness for them. It was a way to help us, on our sinful lives (all of us), because God and Jesus love us so much. That is why when Jesus said no one goes to the father but by me. Jesus was saying this because he is Judge of whether you go to Heaven or Hell. Since, he was the only perfect MAN to walk this earth, he understands us to the fullest extent possible. Know this, God created hell for the fallen angels (Satin, and his followers), not for man or woman, which is why if we go we will never get used to it. Burning for eternity (for ever) dying over and over again, smelling your own burning flesh for ever. Not even the FALLEN ANGELS will. So when we ask Jesus for forgiveness for our sins we have someone who will abolish those sins. There is no need for more sacrifice of sheep anymore. God fulfilled his promise to Israel and the rest of the world. All you have to do is stay humbled in Him. There is more to this, read the Holy Bible, it's great.

John 14:6 says "Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me."

John 3:36 says "He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him."

Jesus came and gave us instructions on living, living according to God's rules. Jesus was God, born as a man, 100% God, 100% man. He lived a perfect life, not committing a single sin, so that He could be crucified to pay the debt of sin that we owe. Romans 3:23 says "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God", that's everyone. Romans 6:23a says "For the wages of sin is death" because we all sin, we all deserve to die for it BUT Romans 6:23b says "but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Jesus paid the debt of sin that we couldn't.

Acts 16:31 says "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved."

Jesus is the tunnel, or bridge, to God. God is Holy, without sin, and He can't look on our sin. Jesus lived a perfect life. 2 Corinthians 5:21 says "He (God) made Him (Jesus) who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." Jesus took our sin on Him, in order to be able for us to get to God.
