Understanding salvation helps us draw closer to God’s love and embrace the life-changing benefits of His grace.
In this devotional, we will explore Jesus’ teachings on salvation and how they can be applied to our everyday lives.

Let’s dive in and discover the life-changing message of salvation.
Bible Verse
John 14:6 (NIV) – "Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’"
Meaning
Jesus’ statement in John 14:6 is powerful and unequivocal. By claiming to be the way, the truth, and the life, Jesus declares that He is the only path to a relationship with God. This verse reassures believers that salvation is not achieved through our own efforts but through faith in Jesus Christ.
The way implies that Jesus is our guide and path to God. The truth indicates Jesus’ teachings are the ultimate reality of God’s word. The life points to the eternal life we receive through Him. Together, these elements highlight the completeness and sufficiency of Christ’s role in salvation.
Jesus doesn’t just show us the way to salvation; He is the way. He doesn’t merely tell us the truth; He embodies it. And He doesn’t just give life; He is life. Understanding these facets frees us from striving for salvation through our deeds and instead trusting in His sacrifice and resurrection.
