What does the Bible say about Jesus being the way, the truth, and the life?
Answered in 6 sources
The Bible declares that Jesus is the sole way to God, revealing the truth of salvation and granting eternal life to those who believe in Him.
In John 14:6, Jesus proclaims, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life.' This statement emphasizes His unique role as the mediator between humanity and God, asserting that there is no other means of access to the Father except through Him. As the way, Jesus represents the path of salvation that He established through His sacrificial death and resurrection. He embodies the truth as He is the ultimate revelation of God’s nature and will, and as the life, He offers spiritual resurrection and eternal life to His followers. This triad of 'way, truth, life' signifies not just a directional path but indicates the fullness of relationship and communion with God that believers experience through Christ.
