“I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture” (John 10:9).
Jesus says, “I am the door.” Door to where? The door to God that through Him if anyone enters in they shall be saved. There is no other way to be saved except in Christ and through Him alone.
Now who is Jesus Christ? Jesus Christ is the Word of God, the Word that became human, according to the Scripture (see John 1:14). The Word of God is that Saviour of the whole world, which is Jesus Christ.
The apostle Peter says, “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). Jesus the Word of God is the only name to call upon to be saved.
That’s why Jesus says “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:31-32). If we study the Scripture we would know the truth of the Bible.
The truth of the Bible is that the Word of God is the Saviour that can save us from Satan the liar. The Scripture is the only lifeline that God sent, and as many as receive the Word of God shall be saved.
Anyone who believes that the Scripture is the truth of God and that He’s the perfect Son of freedom shall be saved. The Word of God is the Son of God, “Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed” (John 8:36).
God is a Spirit, the Holy Spirit, that gave us the Bible through the holy prophets and apostles (see 2 Peter 1:21). The only way to come to God is through the Scripture and the Scripture alone.
It is the Word of God that came down from heaven. Which is why Jesus says, “No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven” (John 3:13).
Jesus says, “I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world” (John 6:51).
In response, “The Jews therefore quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this Man give us His flesh to eat?” (John 6:52). Jesus, however, was talking to them concerning the Word of God, which is the bread that came down from God.
James wrote, “Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls” (James 1:21). The Word of God is the Saviour of our souls.
When Jesus said “I am the door” He was talking of the Holy Scripture, that He is that Word God sent, which we have in the Bible. God saves people through their faith in His Word, and God does this to all who believe in Christ (see Romans 10:11).
