John 10:11-15
11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. 14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. NIV

No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. 5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. NIV
John 14:6
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. NIV

1. The reality is that there is only ONE way to make this work with God…His name is Jesus

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. ESV

13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. NIV
2. Liking Jesus as a teacher, prophet, good person is not the same as being born again. New life in Christ means seeing him as Lord and Savior.
1 John 4:14-15
14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. ESV
John 3:18
“There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God’s one and only Son. NLT
1. Knowing this helps us move past our doubts.
2. Knowing he is FULLY GOD makes his becoming FULLY MAN even that much more meaningful.
