Jesus is called the Way, the Truth and the Life. we are to endure in The Way, or we are not following Truth. Jesus is also called The Truth.
if we truly believe in Jesus (who He really is) (which is how many claim they are saved), then we
follow The Way. it's a path. the path of Truth.
it begins with milky teachings + possible falsehoods for many it seems -- but goes on from there. it is not a destination, but a road -- a path -- The Way. it is not a belief -- of the mind, a saying i believe, a claim of salvation and the like -- but a belief in The Way -- a path. also known as Christ.... also known as the Truth.
we must follow The Truth (Yeshua/ Jesus Christ) out of the Milky Teachings and any Falsehoods that we have inherited along the Path -- and on and on to beyond or we may be stagnating on whichever flavor of Milk we currently drink and/or, are not truly on The Path much (the Way, the Truth, ........ Life).
But the way of truth that’s leads to life is not found in self-righteous (no matter how good it is to be a righteous man) but it is found in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. There is no addition to the Gospel of Christ, there is no debt owed to us by God for the path we keep, but all in all, Christ is the preeminence. We have nothing to boast in but Christ Himself.
Colossians 1:15-22 King James Version
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
