Reflection Essay

Jesus is the Truth: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father
except through Me.” John 14:6.

Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation. Salvation is through saving human beings
from sin and its consequences, which include death and separation from God. Only
through Him can we be saved and no one can come to God directly until they have
known Jesus. However, our attitude toward the truth determines the outcome of our
lives. If we don’t love the truth, if we resist it, we resist salvation. But if we love the
truth, we embrace salvation and receive the reward: the crown of life.

When Jesus pours His light into our life and we recognize that we are sinners in need
of repentance, atonement, and justification, we have made the first step toward truth.
This makes us want to repent. The second step is when He reveals to us that, despite
being absolved, we still have sin in the flesh, and we must admit that we are helpless
to resist when we are tempted to give in to the sin that is so deeply embedded in us as
humans. Jesus is the only way through which mankind should worship God. That is,
humanity can serve God only through Jesus Christ. And also, God shall reckon a
person as a true worshipper only if he is a staunch follower of Jesus.
