SCRIPTURE COMMENTARY #502
Jesus saith unto him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also: from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him." (John 14:6-7)
THE NECESSITY OF FAITH: "No man cometh to the Father but by Me," said the Lord. It follows from this that no one who does not believe in Him can come to the Father, or attain to life everlasting. "This is eternal life," Jesus went on to say, "that they may know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent."
