Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
If we consider that being with God the Father in eternity is the end of the path we are on, then how we come to that eventual end is dependent on coming through Christ.
It begins with Jesus and believjng by faith that Jesus is the Way.
And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
Jesus called His disciples with purpose. Here in this simple comment is a hint to the path we are to walk. Jesus makes us what He needs us to be to serve a purpose. As with His disciples, He gets to tell each of us what He is calling us to do.

1 Corinthians 12:4-11 English Standard Version
4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; 5 and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; 6 and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. 7 To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 8 For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.
As newborns in Christ we wonder how we are to be empowered by the spirit.
