GE10A-DD | VIA, VERITAS, VITA

1. What is Via, Veritas, Vita?
– Via, Veritas, Vita means the way, the truth, and the life. In John 14, the scriptures emphasize that Jesus is the via, veritas, vita. He is the way to knowing the ultimate truth and achieving life with God. In other words, Jesus Christ is our salvation; by knowing him, we save ourselves from eternal damnation.

2. Will God condemn an innocent man who has never heard the name of Jesus Christ?
– There is no innocent man, and thus, God condemns no one, according to the article. Humans have sinned in several ways, and God condemns them. The wrongdoings and acts of rebellion create a rift in our relationship with God. Regardless, He sent His only son for us to receive salvation. From an exclusivism standpoint, we must know Jesus Christ to be saved. Moreover, it is not enough to know the scriptures; we need to honor the Creator of all things wholeheartedly. It is also important to point out that being spiritually responsive alone does not guarantee salvation or redemption, for knowing the word of the Lord is integral.
