What does the Bible say about how we can know the way to God?

According to Scripture, the only path to reconciliation with God is through Jesus Christ. He explicitly states in John 14:6, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.' In this declaration, Christ emphasizes that salvation is not achieved through human effort or merit but solely through His atoning work. This aligns with the sovereign grace theology which underscores the belief in Christ's unique role as the sole mediator between God and humanity.

The context of this passage highlights the disciples' confusion and fear as they were faced with Christ's imminent crucifixion. In reassuring them, Jesus affirms that knowing Him is essential for understanding the way to eternal life. The assurance lies not in the disciples’ inherently flawed understanding but in Christ's divine nature and His fulfillment of the prophecies concerning the necessity of His sacrificial death. Thus, Christians are called to place their faith entirely in Christ as the definitive way to the Father.
