Accept the Message
Accept the Message: His Way is the Way
The first step in joining this movement is accepting Jesus’ message. His Way is not just one option among many—it is the way. Jesus said it himself:
“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.” - John 14:6
What Does It Mean to Accept His Way?
Accepting His Way means:
- Believing Jesus is who he said he is - The Son of God, the Savior, the Way
- Committing to follow his teachings - Not just knowing them, but living them
- Putting his words into action - Faith without works is dead
- Sharing his message with others - We are commanded to spread the Good News
“Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock.” - Matthew 7:24
The Core Teachings
When you accept His Way, you accept these teachings:

The Beatitudes
The foundational principles of His Way. Who is blessed and how to live.

Care for the Least of These
How we treat the poor, sick, and marginalized is how we treat Jesus.

Forgiveness and Debt
We forgive as we have been forgiven. This includes literal debts.
