John 14:6
"Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."Are these scriptures clear? Is what Jesus said hard to understand?
How about these scriptures.
John 3:5
I don't know about you, but when I read these scriptures with my current understanding of the written word of God, I believe exactly what they say!
Jesus told Nicodemus this, and He's telling us today, that unless you are born of water, (baptism) and the Spirit, (Holy Spirit baptism), you CANNOT enter the kingdom of God!
Unless you are born from above you cannot see or enter the kingdom of God! Amazing, isn't it?
So why don't the majority of preachers, preach this truth? And why don't so many professing Christians believe what Jesus said in the above two passages of scripture?
I didn't read Jesus saying, repeat this prayer with me to enter God's Kingdom. I didn't read just confess with your mouth and believe with all your heart and then you will enter the Kingdom of God.
Are the scriptures in Romans 10:9 in conflict with John 3:5? Nope! All you have to do is read the scriptures in context and start asking questions and you will find the answer!
Like this question: Where did Paul get his gospel message from?
Galatians 1:11-12
Now would Jesus Christ through His Holy Spirit that lived inside Paul's soul, teach him a contradictory gospel? A message of conversion different from Jesus Himself!? Impossible!!!!!
This is exactly why Jesus told the Pharisees the kingdom of God is within you!
Luke 17:20-21
"Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.”
And the only way for God's kingdom to be within you, is to obey exactly what Jesus said! And if you do, then Jesus (The Son), The Father, and His Spirit will come to you and make their home within your soul! That is true conversion to Christ!
John 14:23-24
Obedience to the teachings of Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation! The only way to see and enter the Kingdom of God!
In Jesus,
