Using the Bible as a tool
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
John 14:6
Way: a route, direction, or path:
- Do you know the way to the restaurant?
- I've only been living in Madrid for a couple of weeks so I don't really know my way around it yet.
- We'll have to stop for petrol on the way to the airport.
- Can you find your own way out of the building?
Facts we need to know!
The means by which you go about doing something is the way you do it. Although you "cleaned" your room, the way you did it — shoving everything into your closet — didn't exactly solve the problem.
Truth: the quality of being true:
- There would seem to be some truth in what she says.
- There is no truth in the reports of his resignation.
- And yet what he says contains at least a grain of (= a small amount of) truth.
- “he told the truth”
- “he thought of answering with the truth but he knew they wouldn't believe it”
Facts we need to know!
Truth is something that squares with reality. When you are sworn in to give testimony in a U.S. court of law, you promise to "tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth."
Life:
Your life is the time from your birth to your death — you can see this in its origins: "to remain, persevere, continue, live." Life is everything that happens: When people say, "That's life," they mean all the events and tendencies, the human condition itself.
- The period between birth and death, or the experience or state of being alive:
- Life's too short to worry about money
- Cats are supposed to have nine lives.
- He doesn't know what he really wants in/out of life.
- The accident changed my whole outlook on Life.
