Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
John 14:6 NKJV
Aren’t you glad there is no “and” at the end of that verse?
It doesn’t say, No one comes to the Father
except through Me and good works,
except through Me and penance,
except through Me and church attendance,
except through Me and charitable giving.
But only, “Except through Me.”
For by grace you have been saved through faith,
and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
not of works, lest anyone should boast.
Ephesians 2:8-9 NKJV
