No one comes to the Father except through me ( John 14:6). Trust in God trust also in me ( John 14:1). To His disciples in the upper room He said.Дo not let your hearts be troubled. Jesus told the people of His day:ДЇor if you do not believe that I am he, you will die in your sins ( John 8:24). But the record is clear, and whether a person likes it or not, Jesus made the colossal claim that nobody could know the living God except by means of Him. Others try to deny that Jesus said or meant this. There are many who do not like this assertion because it seems so narrow-minded.

One thing that Jesus claimed was that He Himself was the only possible way that a person could have a relationship with God. When Jesus came to earth, He made a variety of claims about Himself. The remainder of the New Testament echoes that same purpose. He tells us that he was selective in the signs that he recorded about the life and ministry of Jesus, but that the signs that were given were meant to cause the reader to believe. John's purpose in writing was to create in his readers, belief in Jesus. Many other signs Jesus performed in the presence of his disciples that are not written in this book, but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God and that believing you might have life in his name ( John 20:30, 31). As far as the New Testament is concerned, the main character is Jesus Christ and the New Testament was written to create belief in Him.

Whenever we read any book our goal should be to discover the intention or purpose of the author.
