The Father provided the way to Him through the Word made flesh, Jesus, so that ALL His creation would have the chance to spend eternity with them. It is up to us to spread the Good News after we accept His salvation. Then it is up to the individual in union with the power of the Holy Spirit to accept or reject His love.
Through His death and resurrection, Jesus is the way to the Father. He is also the truth and the life.
As truth, He is the revelation of God. As life, He is the communication of God to us.
