John 14:6 – Bible Verse for the Day
January 3, 2012 by Mike
This post will be the first of many more to come. This will be a new feature for our blog. We will be calling this new feature “Bible Verse for the Day.”
If I had to pick one or two good verses to start this new feature, it would have to be the two main verses on how Jesus Christ is the only way to eternal salvation with God the Father.
With all of the political correctness that has now invaded and infected our environment, there are many liberal type Christians who are starting to compromise parts of our faith with the Lord.
A good example of this is our own sitting president, President Obama. He has been accurately quoted as saying he believes there are other “ways” into the Kingdom of God other than just through Jesus Christ alone. However, if you will look very closely at the first two verses I will now give you, they leave absolutely no room for any other ways into the Kingdom of God.
These first two verses should be committed to full memory by all Christians, as they give us the rock-solid revelation that no one is going to get to God the Father and His dwelling place heaven unless they first come through Jesus Christ and His sacrificial death on the cross.
Here are these first two verses, which are the absolute bottom line truth that all of our Christian faith has to be based on:
1. Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6)
2. “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)
To those of you who are liberal Christians, and you think our current president is correct in that God will allow other ways into His kingdom, I will leave you with one last thought:
Do you really think that God the Father is going to honor and accept any other ways into His kingdom after setting up and watching the bloody, barbaric, and brutal death of His Son Jesus on that cross so He could pay the full price and penalty for all of our sins against Him?
If God the Father were to accept any other ways and any other religions into His Kingdom, then Jesus’ death on the cross for all of us would have been completely and totally in vain. God would have completely wasted His time sending His Son Jesus down here to our earth in human flesh form to die on a cross if He was going to allow others to come to Him through another way or another religion.
With the extreme suffering that Jesus went through to get us back to Himself and His Father, I seriously doubt if God the Father is going to cut anyone any slack if they think they can try and come to Him through another way or another religion.
These first two verses should be interpreted very literally. There is simply no way you can spin these first two verses any other way. And how some of these liberal Christians are starting to do this like our current sitting president is simply beyond me. As I have said before, we either come to God the Father through the blood and the cross, or we do not come through at all.

For those of you who are looking for direct quotes from President Obama making the statements that he feels there are many paths to the same place, here is a link to a major interview he gave to a reporter about his Christian beliefs. This statement is right near the top of the interview. Then further on down he states he finds it hard to believe that God would condemn 4/5 of the population to hell.

This short cut is not working
What do you mean by shortcut?
Pres. Bush started it by saying all religions worship the same god. This is true as Christianity is NOT a religion but Churchianity is a religion to which many belong becoming the Laodician church. There are many now in the churches who do not believe in the Veracity of the Scriptures.
MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST,
PRAISE GOD FOR PEOPLE SUCH AS YOU ALL WHO ARE GOING ABOUT GOD’S BUSINESS AND TRYING TO SHOW ALL THAT THE ONLY WAY TO THE FATHER, “GOD,” IS THROUGH THE SON, “JESUS CHRIST.” IT IS SAD TO THINK SO MANY ARE TURNING AWAY FROM THE TRUTH, BUT GOD’S WORD TELLS US IN THE LAST DAYS THERE WILL BE A GREAT FALLING AWAY. THE SAD NOTE TO ALL OS THIS IS OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST COULD RETURN AT ANYTIME.
THE SAME IS FOR AMERICA. AMERICA’S LEADERS HAVE FORCED ISRAEL TO GIVE UP LAND THAT WAS PROMISED TO THE JEWS AND EACHTIME WE HAVE SEEN GOD’S ANGER. I BELIEVE THAT AMERICA IS GOING TO SEE AND FEEL GOD’S WRATH SOON THIS YEAR BECAUSE GOD HAS GROWN TIRED OF THE SIN. THE ONLY WAY AMERICA CAN BE SAVED AND BECOME GREAT AGAIN IS FOR AMERICANS TO GET DOWN ON THEIR KNEES AND REPENT OF THEIR SINS, THEN GOD WILL FORGIVE. WILL THIS HAPPEN? DON’T THINK SO BUT I PRAY FOLKS WILL. GOD DOES NOT WANT ANYONE TO GO TO HELL.
THANK YOU FOR SENDING THE BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY. MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL EVERYDAY. MAY ALL WHO SEE THIS AND ARE LOST OR HAVE BACK SLIDDEN WILL COME TO KNOW JESUS CHRIST AND REPENT OF THEIR SINS.
BEAR
I agree, that is why the world is in the shape that it’s in. How dare we think we can insult God by things that are allowed to take place and go on today. Yet there is hope Repent!!!! Then will God heal the land.
Preach de Gospel not Obama.Nowadays we hv Christians who Judge,spread hatred and are full of prejudice.
Jesus said”You shall knw the truth and it shall set u free”That is why Jesus didn’t waist time fighting poeple(Math 26:51)
Amen… He has a point here. Are we going to discuss the short coming of our leaders. Or are we going to preach the gospel. Please respond. Thanks
Leaders by the very escence of the word implies that they have followers. A leader should therefore be open to fair criticism and correction if he steps out of line because people are following him and he has an obligation to his followere and to God since he was “sworn” into office. None of us would be happy to be lead down a trail by a blind man, not because we are critical of his blindness but because he has an unfortunate impediment which makes him unfit for certain tasks. So also, if our leaders do not base their leadership on sound biblical principles and doctrines, they should be challenged. This is not a criticism of President Obama but a general statement about all leaders, even those in our churches. They are also human and are prone to mistakes and failures like any of us hence the bible prompts us to pray for those in leadership.
The “Bible of the day” idea is nice. More grace to do His work.
A Bible verse of the day would be great if not accompanied by slandering our presiden Obama. If you are going to quote him please give us where the quote originated from. Probably Fox news or Rush Limbaugh would be my guess
Robert,
Here are two sources about President Obama believing that there are other ways into heaven. The first link gives you the full transcript of what he told the reporter about his beliefs.

You will note on the first link right near the top he says, and I quote him direct: “I believe that there are many paths to the same place.”
Mike
Compelling interview. I think I understand better now. Thank you.
I always hear people say, when we all get to heaven, YOU will be shocked with 3 things. ONe your are they with Jesus, you made it. Second, your Christian friend who was there with you in church or other church members ARE MISSINg; didn’t make it.. finally A murder, killer, a once upon the time devil worshipped who repented and begged forgiveness before his death, was there, he made it.
So, I could see how some of us could end up the same place with a different life path.
I hope this is what he was trying to say!!! LOL!!
I feel that this is a very good thing to be sharing the bible verse every day.It could lift up somebody who may be down.
Another thing i want to point out is that we as intercessors we should be looking out for people to pray for so that they will know the truth.It will take our prayers to change the minds of people who are blinded by the devil.No matter what others might say,lte us continue praying for the lost until Jesus Christ our Lord shows up in their lives.
Original Christianity is based on Apostolic Faith or called Apostolic tradition, in fact a continuation of the Old testament, because Jesus Christ did not come out of no where. He has his Preeminence as the Rock known as Christ, which followed Israel in the wilderness, that same rock which Moses Struck for water, that Rock which was witness to all things of GOD, in the congregation presided over by Joshua. Except that the OT dealt with the Physical & the N.T. deals with the Spiritual in the advancement & basis like saying The children of Abraham in the OT, are Children of Faith in Christ, in the N.T, the very covenant of GOD. Unfortunately the Jews missed Him when He came as the Messiah, thereby falling into the false, corruptive & speculative Talmudism, which Christ warned about as The leaven of the Pharisees , the leavening through oral interpretations of the laws, that which satan contended with Archangel Michael- the Body of Moses in the law, stated in Chapter Jude. Today the so called Liberation Theology an arm of Talmuds & Paganism & its religions, confuse & falsify the truth by trying to omit the word “religion”. For in truth it is actually in terms of False & True Religion. For satan’s way to confuse the worship to the true GOD is to project many gods, clearly seen in the hindu religion, to which the Talmuds are heading, through the deceptive Masonic & its sister organizations. Today politically projected by Obama & his democrats, not forgetting the Clintons, in their agendas through the policies leading to spiritual enslavement as “Short term freedom in a long term Slavery”, the very basis of the Pagan Philosophy.
If Old Testament believers didn’t know the Name of Jesus, what was required of them to be saved?
After Moses had given the law, the Israelite nation had the sacrificial system to follow. Did the sacrifices really save them? Did killing all of those bulls and sheep really wash their sins away?
Brother Robert Baker, I thank you for making that statement about we should look to where that source of information comes from. There is so many attacks against our present President Obama. We have to be careful as to the solidarity of what was quoted by the President. I truly agree with Bible Knowledge.com and of course God’s word, that there is no other way, but through Jesus. He is the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father but by him. I was caught in this hype of defending the President against the world and its hatred and prejudices. We can’t change God’s Word, this world is coming to an end. Jesus is coming soon for his bride the church and that is a fact, to keep us out of that hour of the anti christ, his demons and what will take place upon the earth until Jesus comes to put a stop to it for good! Amen!!! I still have a great amount of Respect and admiration for President Obama and his family. However my loyalty is to King Jesus, who is first and foremost and truly worthy to be praised. He holds our future and the Word is the TRUTH. We cannot change what this world is headed for and that is the END! We can only pray and witness to people that Jesus is our hope for tomorrow and pray they be ready when Jesus Come to take us in the Rapture. We pray they come on board, all who will call on his name and have faith and trust in Jesus! Making disciples as Jesus has asked us to do, for we are his Ambassadors. He is the GOOD NEWS! HE IS OUR FUTURE! HE IS OUR HOPE!

Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you.

First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, …

Let the elders who rule well be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in preaching and teaching. For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle an ox when it treads out the grain,” and, “The laborer deserves his wages.” Do not admit a charge against an elder except on the evidence of two or three witnesses. As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear.
We are in the endtime and we are seeing exactly what the bible has said so we need to get closer to Jesus because he is the author and finisher of our faith for any one to get to heaven he must be ready to surender to Jesus he is the way the truth and the life.I urge you to continue with this.thanks
When Jesus stood before pilate in Judgement He reminded pilate of the manner “know that the your authority (power) comes from My Father in Heaven without which you are a nothing”. Power is distributed among man to be used wisely but when it is misused by people like Obama & his democrats by going against the very word of God like Ushering in Gay agendas & the likes, basically contradicting the works God, as the Bible says “They think to change times & laws” how can a Christian who profess himself to be a Christian support this man. Which only goes to say that all Men or leaders like this one is not of God. The Bible says it clearly of the king of Tyre in the OT. (mis)interpretation of Biblical words & preaching it leads to falseness, in deceit. For all are not called to preach.
amen
Amen is another name for Jesus Christ, mentioned in revelations “—said The Amen”.
Good verses to start out with and good food for thought. I couldn’t have said it better myself. That kind of truth and Biblical knowledge is what people need to hear. It hits you right between the eyes and leaves no shadow of doubt. Keep it coming. Time is getting shorter and shorter and there is no time to mince words any longer. We are either committed to Jesus fully and completely or we are not. And we all know what He said about lukewarm Christians. If He were to let lukewarm Christians into Heaven then it would make His death on the cross and what He had to suffer through seem really cheap.
JUST PRAY FOR RULERS- KINGS- PRESIDENTS -BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL IN THE HAND OF THE LORD . DANIEL 4;35 AND ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH ARE REPUTED AS NOTHING AND THE LORD DO ACCORDING TO HIS WILL IN THE ARMY OF THE HEAVEN ANDAMONG THE INHABITANTS THE EARTH NONE CAN STAY HIS HAND OR SAY UNTO HIM WHAT ARE YOU DOING? check out JOB 34.29 ISAIAH 45.9 GOOD GREIF WOW WE JUST NEED TO P-R-A-Y……….
The Bible in Daniel says of the False/Pseudo/anti Christ ” He will not regard the desire of women” which desire of any woman,even the Female species is to bring forth its own kind. This is causing population controls brought about through Abortions, Deceitful Planned Parenthoods, gay promotions & relationship, enticing children in the name of education, even trying to remove the name of Jesus Christ Now these policies are clearly seen in the usherings of the present Administration under Obama , not by mistake or chance but willfull. Bible ,read as a book & prayers said of the mind is only reading a dead novel. The Bible unlike any other book comes under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit & can be understood through the revelation of the spirit. That is why it is known as the ‘Living word” For God is life.So the Bible not prayed in in the Spirit will only end up praying for the wrong leaders, bringing in wrong things, with no better clarity than seen today.
Robert Baker, Get your head out of our muslim presidents rear end.
Larry You need to get saved That is a terrible thing to say
praise the name of,the Lord Jesus. am realy blessed with what. your teaching us God bless you so much for that good work your doing
For, In His wisdom GOD chose each one in His Christ before the foundations were laid & to change that, the foundations will have to be removed, which will include removal of man. Like the present Obama administration’s change, change of all changes relate to the biblical words “For they think to change times & laws”. GOD is not man, the one who gives commandments unto every thing each in its own way & to man in his way. such that laws are universal, interconnected, so changing one law like the law of marriage(gay law) away from the will of GOD, will effect the other laws causing imbalances & its result “Catastrophic”. And “This they begin to do”.
“And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd.”
