Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through Me. (John 14:6)
What's life all about? Where did we come from and where are we going? Was I just born to live a short time then die and that's the end of it? Is there any other purpose for living other than what meets the human eye?
These are honest questions. I used to ask myself these same questions. I now understand the answers to these and it's brought a lot of peace of mind! For the first twenty five years of my life I was quite anxious to know the truth about life. Don't laugh, but I was well on my way to thinking that we were a "colony plant" from another planet. As time went on it seems I grew more desperate to know the truth about life on planet earth.
For whatever reason I just found the "evolution theory" too far fetched. It was just too hard to believe. How in the world could something like the human body with all the complexity of it's mind simply evolve from a one celled thing that by chance squirmed its way out of a "goo slough" to eventually become an intelligent person. That was simply beyond me to take in. Maybe it just left too much to chance for me. Whatever it just didn't satisfy my anxiety and longing for the truth.
I always felt there was some great intelligence at the source of human existance. I couldn't seem to find the answers anywhere. If we were a "colony plant" from another planet there was nothing left behind from any of the supposed UFO's to give anything concrete. Where do I go? Do you have this same inner drive within you that I had? Are you looking for the truth as I was? I had to know what life was really all about. I wanted to be sure that when my time was completed here on earth that I had not missed the target and waisted the only opportunity there would be .
I need to share something with you at this that may seem to you a bit odd! Leading up to this was my inner pursuit of the truth. This is what I "had to know"! One early morning as I was entering my welding shop I heard these audible words, "This day I could require your soul of you". I know how this must sound but it did happen so I must tell it like it is. I knew my mental health was good and I also knew that this was a very real experience that needed to be dealt with honestly. I had been seriously seeking the truth, both consciously and unconsciously for quite a few years. I felt I must pursue the source of this voice that had spoken with such authority. I knew I had married a Christian gal and sought first to find an answer in that direction.
It was a Sunday night in February 1975 that I found what I had been looking for. The truth came to me through the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. It was nothing short of a miracle that I was in church listening to a preacher telling me that I was a sinner and that I needed God's forgiveness. I was told that Jesus had come form heaven to save me from the penalty of my sins. He did this when He hung on the cross and died in my place. He was the sinless Son of God yet He died as the "God provided" sacrifice for the sins of the world. The Fathers righteous judgment against sin fell upon Jesus as He offered His life's blood as the ransom for sinners. All I can say is, "That night my spiritual eyes were opened to the truth". I knew in the deepest recesses of my being that I was hearing the truth. There was a God, He loved me and had made provision for me to be cleansed of sins guilt and made completely acceptable to Him. I needed to respond to His invitation for salvation! I needed to repent of my sins! I did so and in deep genuine sorrow for my sins I asked God's forgiveness and cleansing from my sins. I repented and I mean I had such a deep inner desire to turn from my sins and to do only what would please the One who had died and rose again to save me. With hot tears running down my cheeks God forgave me and forever erased my sins from His memmory. I was clean and I was free. I was fully accepted by the Father as I came to Him through the Lord Jesus Christ. I can't put into words the incredible peace that flooded my soul that night, but I knew then as I know that everything was OK between me and Almighty God. Everything was OK then and everything is still OK.
My initial salvation experience happened over thirty years ago! The peace that flooded my soul that night when I had come into the knowledge of the Truth has never left me. I'm probably more convinced than ever that Jesus really is the Way, the Truth and the Life. If you are personally seeking the truth you will find it in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. Over the years I have found Him to be all the Bible declares Him to be. He is your answer. He is the Truth and in Him is the true meaning of life.
I want to encourage you in Jesus name! If you have not yet received Jesus Christ as your own personal Savior then you need to. Act 4:12 - There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved." Jesus spoke the truth when He said in John 14:6 "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through Me.

What ever you do, do not hesitate! Do not put it off. If you have come this far in then you can be sure that the Lord is seeking you. He's calling you! He wants you to come to Him and He wants you to come to Him now. Today is the day of salvation not tomorrow. As your well aware of there are no guarantees in life. Don't miss this opportunity while God is still reaching out to you. Take the first forward! Turn to the Lord now in prayer. Talk to God as if you were talking to your closest friend. Be honest and transparent with Him. Seek His forgiveness for your sins and turn to the Lord Jesus Christ, by fully embracing Him as your personal Lord and Savior. Surrender your life fully to Him, asking Him to come into your life and make you a new person, on that will honor and glorify Him for the rest of your life.
