the way and the truth and the life

Jesus clearly stated that he is the truth the way and the life and that no one will go to the Father except by him. It's not about the moral life you live or don't live, in fact those who are in Christ are free from the law of sin and death. Sin isn't to live immorally, but rather not believing in the Son. Righteousness isn't achieved by doing the right things but rather by believing in the Son.

John 14:6 (NIV)
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

John 3:18 (NIV)
"Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son"

John 8:24 (NIV)
"I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am the one I claim to be, you will indeed die in your sins.”

John 16: 7 - 11 (NIV)
7But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. 8When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt[a] in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment: 9in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me; 10in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; 11and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.

This is what I believe
