John 14:6
King James Version
6 Jesus saith unto him,
I am the way,
the truth,
and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father,
but by me.
What does it really mean, when JESUS said that verse above?
Just like with all things seemingly simple, we tend to take it for granted.
But do we really understand what the LORD said?
Have we grasped its meaning yet?
For myself, I really want to understand.
And the only way to find out, is to take it the LORD's WORD, at a time.
Here's where the HOLY SPIRIT led me, in SCRIPTURE.
The WAY.
John 10:7-9
King James Version
7 Then said Jesus unto them again,
Verily, verily,
I say unto you,
I am the door of the sheep.
8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers:
but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door:
by me if any man enter in,
he shall be saved,
and shall go in and out,
and find pasture.
John 14:15
King James Version
15 If ye love me,
keep my commandments.
John 14:21

and keepeth them,
he it is that loveth me:
and he that loveth me
shall be loved of my Father,
and I will love him,
and will manifest myself to him.
Matthew 22:37-40
King James Version
37 Jesus said unto him,
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul,
and with all thy mind.

39 And the second is like unto it,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments
hang all the law and the prophets.
John 14:1-4
King James Version
14 Let not your heart be troubled:
ye believe in God,
believe also in me.
2 In my Father's house are many mansions:
if it were not so,
I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you,
I will come again,
and receive you unto myself;
that where I am,
there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know,
and the way ye know.
John 14:23

If a man love me,
he will keep my words:
and my Father will love him,
and we will come unto him,
and make our abode with him.

31 Then said Jesus to those Jews
which believed on him,
If ye continue in my word,
then are ye my disciples indeed;

King James Version
28 Ye have heard how I said unto you,
I go away,
and come again unto you.
If ye loved me,
ye would rejoice,
because I said,
I go unto the Father:
for my Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have told you before it come to pass,
that,
when it is come to pass,
ye might believe.

If any man will come after me,
let him deny himself,
and take up his cross daily,
and follow me.

for the works which the Father hath given me to finish,

hath borne witness of me.
Ye have neither heard his voice at any time,
nor seen his shape.

neither knoweth him:
but ye know him;
for he dwelleth with you,
and shall be in you.
John 14:26

Arise,
let us go hence.
John 5:19-20
King James Version

Verily, verily,
I say unto you,
The Son can do nothing of himself,
but what he seeth the Father do:
for what things soever he doeth,
these also doeth the Son likewise.
20 For the Father loveth the Son,
and sheweth him all things that himself doeth:
and he will shew him greater works than these,
that ye may marvel.
John 5:30

which hath sent me.

the Father hath not left me alone;
for I do always those things that please him.

and ye in me,
and I in you.
The LIFE.
John 11:25
King James Version
25 Jesus said unto her,
I am the resurrection,
and the life:
he that believeth in me,
though he were dead,
yet shall he live:
John 11:26
King James Version
26 And whosoever liveth
and believeth in me
shall never die.
Believest thou this?
John 11:23
King James Version
23 Jesus saith unto her,
Thy brother shall rise again.
John 11:32-44
King James Version
32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was,
and saw him,
she fell down at his feet,
saying unto him,
Lord, if thou hadst been here,
my brother had not died.
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping,
and the Jews also weeping which came with her,
he groaned in the spirit,
and was troubled.
34 And said,
Where have ye laid him?
They said unto him,
Lord, come and see.
35 Jesus wept.
36 Then said the Jews,
Behold how he loved him!
37 And some of them said,
Could not this man,
which opened the eyes of the blind,
have caused that even this man should not have died?
38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave.
It was a cave,
and a stone lay upon it.
39 Jesus said,
Take ye away the stone.
Martha,
the sister of him that was dead,
saith unto him,
Lord, by this time he stinketh:
for he hath been dead four days.
40 Jesus saith unto her,
Said I not unto thee,
that, if thou wouldest believe,
thou shouldest see the glory of God?
41 Then they took away the stone from the place
where the dead was laid.
And Jesus lifted up his eyes,
and said,
Father,
I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
42 And I knew that thou hearest me always:
but because of the people which stand by I said it,
that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43 And when he thus had spoken,
he cried with a loud voice,
Lazarus,
come forth.
44 And he that was dead came forth,
bound hand and foot with graveclothes:
and his face was bound about with a napkin.
Jesus saith unto them,
Loose him,
and let him go.
John 5:21-29
King James Version
21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead,
and quickeneth them;
even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
22 For the Father judgeth no man,
but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
23 That all men should honour the Son,
even as they honour the Father.
He that honoureth not the Son
honoureth not the Father
which hath sent him.
24 Verily, verily,
I say unto you,
He that heareth my word,
and believeth on him that sent me,
hath everlasting life,
and shall not come into condemnation;
but is passed from death unto life.
25 Verily, verily,
I say unto you,
The hour is coming,
and now is,
when the dead shall hear the voice
of the Son of God:
and they that hear shall live.
26 For as the Father hath life in himself;
so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also,
because he is the Son of man.
28 Marvel not at this:
for the hour is coming,
in the which all that are in the graves
shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth;
they that have done good,
unto the resurrection of life;
and they that have done evil,
unto the resurrection of damnation.
John 10:10-11
King James Version
10 The thief cometh not,
but for to steal,
and to kill,
and to destroy:
I am come that they might have life,
and that they might have it more abundantly.
11 I am the good shepherd:
the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
John 10:15-18
King James Version
15 As the Father knoweth me,
even so know I the Father:
and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 And other sheep I have,
which are not of this fold:
them also I must bring,
and they shall hear my voice;
and there shall be one fold,
and one shepherd.
17 Therefore doth my Father love me,
because I lay down my life,
that I might take it again.
18 No man taketh it from me,
but I lay it down of myself.
I have power to lay it down,
and I have power to take it again.
This commandment have I received of my Father.
John 10:27-29
King James Version
27 My sheep hear my voice,
and I know them,
and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life;
and they shall never perish,
neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
29 My Father,
which gave them me,
is greater than all;
and no man
is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
John 8:23-24
King James Version
23 And he said unto them,
Ye are from beneath;
I am from above:
ye are of this world;
I am not of this world.
24 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 8:51
King James Version
51 Verily, verily,
I say unto you,
If a man keep my saying,
he shall never see death.
John 3:16
King James Version
16 For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish,
but have everlasting life.
John 5:39-40
King James Version
39 Search the scriptures;
for in them ye think ye have eternal life:
and they are they which testify of me.
40 And ye will not come to me,
that ye might have life.
