To Those Who Have, More Will Be Given

“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” - Jesus Christ

That's right! Jesus Christ is the way, truth, and life. And those who believe in Him will come to God through Him. But where does this passage of scripture leave unbelievers? If they don't believe in Jesus, then they can't come to God through him. Why is this? Because it's God who draws us to Him, not Jesus. It is through the Holy Spirit that God draws us toward Him. But, if you believe in Jesus then you are believing in the Holy Spirit who is working through him.

It's all God. He's just using different people and circumstances to draw people to Himself. If we accept this truth then we must also believe that everyone will come to God, whether they want to or not. It's all about His will for their lives and their will for His will for their lives.

The Apostle Paul wrote about this when he said, “For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.” (Romans 11:29) We may not understand how things work but we can know that God is in control. He will bring good out of all situations.

So, what does that mean for us? That means as Christians we must take responsibility for our own lives and stop blaming other people for our lack of success in life. It's not the world's fault if we don't succeed, it's ours! We were given a chance at salvation through Christ when we were still sinners; therefore, it is up to you whether you accept that opportunity or refuse it. But once you are saved, it is up to you how far you go for God.

Are you using all of your talents to glorify God? Are you taking advantage of every opportunity given by Him? I am the way and the truth, but I can't make people believe in me. Neither can I make them live a life that will bring glory to my Father. But God is the one who will make those things happen.

If you are a Christian, you have been given a gift in letting this truth sink into your heart and mind. You can let it sink deep into your soul so that you will know at all times that Jesus Christ is your way to God. He's the only one who can draw you to Him and make heaven a reality for you as an eternal resident in His presence forever.

I'm going to tell you something right now: if I can be used by God to bring any person to salvation, I'll do it gladly! But I cannot force anyone to believe in me or get saved. I cannot save anyone because I am not God. I am just a man and a sinner who was given the gift of salvation through Christ.

In His Grace,

The Apostle Gary Fung

Below is an article written by Pastor Gary Fung that was originally published in 2012 . . . .

For millions of people around the world who want to be blessed with abundant wealth Jesus has come.

His name is Jesus, the Son of God. He came to earth more than 2,000 years ago and lived a perfect life in preparation for his coming to earth as a man, who was supposed to die on the cross at age 33 and so become our Savior (Jesus Christ).

There are several ways that Jesus has been used by God to help people - whether they know him or not. But let's go back in time when Jesus was only about 30 years old and see one of His first uses of his power.

It happened during the time that King Herod had tried to kill every baby boy on Earth. So Jesus was growing up in a Jewish family that lived in the only country that did not have a king. When He was around 30years old, God told Him to travel to a certain region of the earth where a woman named Mary and her husband Joseph had been asked to take care of a baby boy by the name of Jesus. They had been given their job because Herod, who was the king at that time, had killed every child in that area.

Mary and Joseph were both good people who cared for this precious life by taking Him home and caring for Him as much as they could. As they cared for Him, He quickly grew into a very handsome young man. The Bible says that "he was at the right hand of God, and angels came and joined him. He received all power, authority, and dominion over all things." (1)

God had already given the spirit of his son to each person who was ever born on earth from Adam to Jesus. But now in a very special way God gave His own life to his son Jesus Christ. And he (Jesus) is not ashamed to call us (Jesus' followers) his brothers. He really became a brother who cared for us as much as he could by living a perfect life so that He could become our Savior; so that we can have eternal life with God. He did this for us by giving his life in death on the cross of Calvary. (2)

But that was still not the end of God's plan for Jesus. The Bible says; "So many people from so many different countries lived at that time in Jerusalem. When they saw Jesus, the Son of God, they were glad and admired him...They said to each other, 'What a kind and important man! And what a kind and important father he has!' People who heard about all these things said; 'This is a great man! He is truly the Son of God.'" (3)

Because of this Jesus became very famous among the people living at that time in Jerusalem. He was made like the other sons of men. He was given the same kind of body that everyone else had. "He came to live among us ordinary people and became acquainted with all kinds of people, both good and bad." (4)

Christians today love to read about Jesus and His many wonderful works done in the past, especially when He stayed on earth for about three years. What a pleasure it is to know more about Jesus through the Bible! But we Christians are missing out on one important thing: What really happened during those years? How did Jesus use His power?

You see, we've stopped using His name.

Conclusion:

The way to know more about Jesus is not to read the book of Revelation, which was written many years after Jesus left this earth, but to learn what His own words and actions were during the time when He was here on earth in a real body. These things are found throughout the four gospels that tell us about Jesus. The four Gospels are Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

Jesus is alive today! Do you really want to know Him through His power? That's your decision to make.
