I hope these resources are of great use to you and that they lead you or help you lead others to Jesus. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and no one comes to the Father except through Him. He is the central truth we need to know so that we can be forgiven by God and receive relationship with God and eternal life. It’s simple, and it’s true.
