The only way
You don’t have to come to Christ. But if you’re going to be saved, friends, you’ll have to come. God has no other way. The Lord Jesus said, “No man cometh to the Father but by me.” You may think that’s dogmatic and narrow—and it is. But the interesting thing is it’ll bring you there. And the other part of it is you don’t have to come. That’s where your free will comes in. You don’t have to come, but if you’re going to come to God, you’ll have to come this way because God has elected this is the only way. In fact, He can’t take your righteousness; He won’t have it. “It is not by works of righteousness which we have done. According to His mercy that He saved us ….” This is His way.

About Dr. J. Vernon McGee
John Vernon McGeewas born in Hillsboro, Texas, in 1904. Dr. McGee remarked, "When I was born and the doctor gave me the customary whack, my mother said that I let out a yell that could be heard on all four borders of Texas!" His Creator well knew that he would need a powerful voice to deliver a powerful message.
After completing his education (including a Th.M. and Th.D. from Dallas Theological Seminary), he and his wife came west, settling in Pasadena, California. Dr. McGee's greatest pastorate was at the historic Church of the Open Door in downtown Los Angeles, where he served from 1949 to 1970.
He began teaching Thru the Bible in 1967. After retiring from the pastorate, he set up radio headquarters in Pasadena, and the radio ministry expanded rapidly. Listeners never seem to tire of Dr. J. Vernon McGee's unique brand of rubber-meets-the-road teaching, or his passion for teaching the whole Word of God.
On the morning of December 1, 1988, Dr. McGee fell asleep in his chair and quietly passed into the presence of his Savior.
