Live and Embrace The Way, The Truth and The Life
These thoughts came to me after a YRM Bible Study of Galatians 4 (verses 4 and 5 really stood out to me!), and after a brother made comments on Galatians 4:6 and quoted 1John 3:1-2.
THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE
THE WAY
OT: Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of Yahweh (Psalm 119:1).
NT: Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to
destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Yahshua Messiah, the Son of Yahweh, said this in the Sermon on the Mount, as we read in Matthew 7:13-14, RSB)*
THE TRUTH
OT: Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth (Psalm 119:142).
NT: Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. (From Yahshua’s prayer before His death and impalement, as we read in John 17:17.)
THE LIFE
OT: And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this
day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law. For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it (Deuteronomy 32:46-47).
NT: And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is,
Elohim: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. (Yahshua said this, as we read in Matthew 19:17, in response to the question in the verse before: “Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?”)
Yahshua also said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life:…” (John 14:6)
Isn’t that interesting?
So it seems Yahshua is The Way, The Truth AND The Life because he said so, and it makes
sense…
Yahshua is the way to the Father (John 14:6b). He taught and spoke Yahweh’s word of truth, the
Torah (John 14:10; 17:8,17). No one can gain eternal life unless they believe in Yahshua Messiah (John 3:16-17). We need to keep the commandments and walk as He walked, in obedience to the Father Yahweh (John 15:10; 1John 2:1-7).
Yahshua Messiah is not a liar but spoke truth, and we have Scriptures in both Old and New
testaments that speak Yahweh’s truth to us, so I believe we need to live and embrace The Way, The Truth, and The Life!
Praise Yahweh! Thank you, Yahweh, for your Son Yahshua who taught us your Torah and
showed us how we can do it as well!
