If you've spent any time at all around Christians or in church services, chances are high that you've heard several references to the words of Jesus in John 14:6:
"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me."
In The Imitation of Christ, Thomas à Kempis expands on that:
Without my way, you cannot go. Without my truth, you cannot know. And without my life, you cannot grow. I am the way which you must follow, the truth you must believe, and the life for which you must hope. I am the way never changing, the truth never failing, and the life never ending. I am the straight way, the supreme truth, and the true, blessed, and uncreated life.
Jesus Music pioneer, Keith Green, put it like this:

Truth is...I need to spend some time flat on my face, crying out for forgiveness, and repenting from all the times I have tried going my own way, expounding my opinion instead of His truth, living life on my own power instead of being keenly aware of my dependence on Yahweh.
