There is only one way into God’s Kingdom and into his family.

Jesus is the only way to the Father. You can’t can come to the Father by following rules. You can’t come to the Father by praying to Mary. You can’t come to the Father just by being ‘baptised’ as a baby. You can’t come to the Father by keep the ten commandments. You can’t come to the Father by changing your bad habits. You can’t come to the Father just by reading or studying your bible or by belonging to a certain denomination. Only through Jesus and guided by the Holy Spirit. And you can't work your way in either.

And those are just a some of the ways people try to get into God's family and are deceived by the people who have taught them such things.

Jesus told us:

“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6

Jesus also said:

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Matthew 7:13-14

And again:

“Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. Luke 13:24

Jesus is the only way; through God's grace revealed by the Holy Spirit.

Seems to me all that remains, pearl, is faithlessness, and faithfulness. A choice to believe and have faith in what Jesus Christ has done for all of the world, or not, and his rising again by God.

Some seem to have a problem also with Jesus paying for the sins of all the world, I do not understand why. However He is the way, the truth, and the life, and the only way to have access to the Father in which we are in an open relationship to freely come to Him addressing to him our problems, faults, cares, worries, lifting up friends, family, enemies all in the name of the Son of God.
