In the Synoptic Gospels, Jesus frequently instructs his Jewish audience that the path to God requires loving God completely and strictly upholding the ethical weight of the Mosaic Law (as seen in Matthew 19:17, 'if you want to enter life, keep the commandments').
In the later Gospel of John, the theological focus shifts to a personal, saving faith in Jesus himself as the exclusive mediator to the divine, summarized in John 14:6: 'I am the way, the truth, and the life.'
