The Son of God, who came from heaven, is here [in the Sermon on the Mount] showing us the way to heaven; to the place where he has prepared for us; the glory he had before the world began. He is teaching us the true way to life everlasting; and the only true way, — for there is none besides [Jesus]; all other paths lead to destruction.

—Sermon 21, Sermon on the Mount, Discourse 1 5.248
