What Did Jesus Say About Entering Into Fellowship With Our Heavenly Father?

We have heard that it has been said that there are many ways to approach God and worship him.There are numerous religious denominations in the world that believe this concept. Some would try to approach and worship God through ritual and ceremonial sacrifices. Some believe that their good works will secure for them God's favor. Some would try to approach God by praying, using different names, other than his true name which he has revealed to us through the scriptures.

We are told that we are to be tolerant of other cultures and religions, and respect and accept their method of worship as being as valid as that which has been revealed to us In the holy bible. Jesus Christ taught otherwise. Jesus taught that the only way to approach the one and only true God almighty is a very narrow path that leads through a very narrow gate, and only a few walk that pathway and pass through that gate. Many have chosen to walk a very wide road and pass through a very wide gate which leads to destruction this pathway and gate seems easy and convenient to the masses who like to believe that there is no absolute authority in the universe; truth is only relevant to those who perceive it to be truth. This is a road where many have tried to invent their own gods who will agree with their own code of behavior, not having to give an account to anyone higher than themselves.

Some refer to God as “the man upstairs” or just plain “God” without giving him a specific name or title. There are many so called gods, every culture seems to have its' own set of gods. The holy bible which is the revealed word of God tells us that there is only one true God who has a name. And that there is only one way to approach unto God.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men.” John 1: 1-4. Jesus said: “I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me.” John 14: 6.

Jesus Christ is the narrow way and the narrow door, the only way that one may enter into fellowship with God the Father. Jesus said: “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 that go in thereat: because strait is the gate and narrow is the way which leadeth unto life and few there be that find it.” Matthew 7: 13-14.
