That would be Jesus Christ. No one can come to the Father but by Jesus. Jesus is the solution to the sin problem, the means of salvation, the agent of creation, and the reason for salvation because the purpose for which we are saved is to be conformed to the image of Christ so that He would be the firstborn of many brethren.
Col. 1:16 For by Him (the pre-incarnate Jesus) all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-- all things have been created through Him and for Him. 17] He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.
Rom. 8:29 For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren;

Jesus is the way to Life more abundant! JN 15:5 "I am the vine, you are the branches: He that abides in Me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without Me you can do nothing."
1Co 15:3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance : that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 1Co 15:4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
And so the Christian message is this, that since Christ has paid for all sins, forgiveness of sins through faith in Jesus as a free gift to all believed is to be preached until Jesus comes again. Hope that helps.

The Sermon on the Mount is a curve though - no one can do those things unless the Son lives through him.
So back to Christ - He's the answer to every question.
